World No 1 Novak Djokovic crashed out of the Rolex Monte Carlo Masters following a shock last-16 defeat to Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti.

The 22-time grand slam champion surrendered a one-set and  lead to lose in a rain-interrupted match in Monaco.

After clinching the opener, Djokovic struggled to find his best level in the windy conditions.

The 35-year-old lost serve seven times before wet weather forced the players off with the score at 1-1 in the third game of the deciding set.

Following the resumption of play, the tie remained on serve until the seventh game when 21-year-old Musetti secured what proved to be the decisive break.
