THE PREDICTION
World number one Novak Djokovic passed a significant test on clay yesterday with a straight-sets victory over Lorenzo Musetti, coming back from an early break down to beat the Italian who upset him in the last 16 here in Monte-Carlo 12 months ago. 36-year-old Djokovic is a two-time former champion of the Monte-Carlo Masters but he has struggled to find his rhythm on clay soon enough in recent seasons to make a dent, with this his first quarter-final since 2019.
The Serb will be eager for revenge against world number 11 Alex de Minaur after losing to the Aussie at the United Cup at the start of the year, seeing Serbia crash out of the tournament just two months after his defeat to Jannik Sinner ended their Davis Cup hopes. De Minaur grabbed an encouraging straight-sets victory over fellow Aussie Alexei Popyrin, who had ousted defending champion Andrey Rublev, on Thursday but a fit and firing Djokovic should have too many answers in this intriguing third encounter between the two. Back Djokovic to win outright, with three sets possible but two likelier.
TIP: NOVAK DJOKOVIC TO WIN
