Novak Djokovic has reached the Monte Carlo Masters semi-finals. This makes Djokovic the first player to reach the Masters semi-finals 77 times.
A 7-5, 6-4 win over Alex De Minaur saw Djokovic reach his 77th Masters 1000 semi-final. That's more than any other player and a welcome result for the Serbian after a difficult start to 2024.
Djokovic will now meet Norwegian opponent Casper Ruud in the semi-finals tonight (April 13).
At 36, Djokovic is the oldest player to reach a Masters semifinal in the tournament's Open Era history. If he wins, Djokovic will reach 1,100 Masters match wins. At the same time, he will win his 41st Masters 1000 title.
Also at this tournament, world number 2 Jannik Sinner defeated Danish opponent Holger Rune 2-1 (6-4, 6-7, 6-3) to reach the semi-finals.
Australian Open champion Sinner (22 years old) is the only player to reach the semi-finals of all three ATP Masters 1000 tournaments this season. Sinner's opponent in the semi-finals is Stefanos Tsitsipas (Greece).
