Djoko humiliated by Tabilo thumping

Novak Djokovic felt nothing but shame on Wednesday after exiting the Monte Carlo Masters 6-3, 6-4 with a second straight loss to Chilean Alejandro Tabilo.

“It was the worst day,” the winner of 24 Grand Slam titles said. “I was hoping it was not going to happen, but it was quite a high probability I’m going to play this way

“It’s just horrible; horrible feeling to play this way.

“I’m just sorry for all the people that had to witness this.”

Djokovic said he never could have predicted his dreadful showing.

“I expected myself at least to have put in a decent performance – not like this. I did not have high expectations, really.

“I knew I was going to have a tough opponent and I knew I was gonna probably play pretty bad. 

“But this bad, I didn’t expect.”
