Tabilo maintains perfect record against Djokovic with victory in Monte Carlo

Novak Djokovic said he felt 'horrible' as he crashed out of the Monte Carlo Masters on Wednesday, losing his opening second round match 6-3, 6-4 to Chilean Alejandro Tabilo.

Djokovic, 37, went into the tournament ham-pered by an eye infection that has been troubling him since the semi-finals in Miami at the end of March and admitting that he did not have "very high" expectations for Monte Carlo.

As it transpired a sluggish performance meant that Tabilo, who also beat Djokovic on clay in last year's Rome Masters, faced few difficulties in claiming a rare 2-0 head-to-head record against the 24-time Grand Slam winner.

"It was actually more like the worst day (in the office)," said Djokovic. "I was hoping it was not go ing to happen, but it was quite a high probability I'm going to play this way.

"Just horrible. Horrible feeling to play this way, and just sorry for all the people that have to witness this."

The Serb, who is chasing his IOOth ATP title, has not won a tournament since taking gold at last year's Paris Olympics.
