World number one Novak Djokovic suffered a 6-3 4-6 6-2 quarter-final exit against Russian Daniil Medvedev at the Monte Carlo Masters.
The 31-year-old, winner of the event in 2013 and 2015, lost to the world number 14 in two hours, 20 minutes.
Medvedev faces another Serb in the last four, world number 48 Dusan Lajovic.
Defending champion Rafael Nadal, seeking his 12th Monte Carlo title, came from 4-1 down to beat world number 35 Guido Pella 7-6 (7-1) 6-3.
Djokovic, who won a record seventh Australian Open title in January, lost in the third round at Indian Wells and the fourth round in Miami last month.
He had beaten Medvedev in the last 16 en route to his Melbourne triumph, but surrendered his serve five times as the 23-year-old 10th seed recorded his first victory against the 15-time Grand Slam champion in their fourth meeting. (BBC)
