24-time Major champion Novak Djokovic will square off against Alex de Minaur in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Monte-Carlo Masters on Friday.
After a first-round bye, Djokovic kicked off his run with an easy 6-1, 6-2 win over Roman Safiullin in the second round. Lorenzo Musetti challenged him in the third round but he managed to subdue his younger rival to score a 7-5, 6-3 win.
The Serb has now qualified for the quarterfinals here for the first time since 2019. He also remains on track to become the first player to complete a triple career Golden Masters.
Where is Novak Djokovic playing?
He's currently participating in the season's third Masters 1000 event, the Monte-Carlo Masters. He's a two-time champion at the venue and claimed his first title in spectacular fashion as he ended Rafael Nadal's eight-year reign to lift the trophy in 2013.
The Serb captured his second title during his dominant 2015 season. However, he hasn't made it past the quarterfinals since his previous triumph here.
