Alejandro Tabilo made waves at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters on Wednesday, delivering a standout performance to defeat Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, during their second-round match.
This victory marks Tabilo’s second win over Djokovic in under a year, solidifying his unbeaten record against the 37-year-old Serbian legend in their Lexus ATP Head2Head series.
Struggling to find his rhythm on clay after a challenging start to the season, Djokovic committed 14 unforced errors in the first set and failed to capitalize on break-point opportunities. Tabilo, on the other hand, maintained composure under pressure, showcasing his serving prowess and precision ball-striking to seal the match.
Tabilo stands tall 🇨🇱👏
