Stefanos Tsitsipas is continuing to prove his mettle at the Monte-Carlo Masters.

The current reigning champ, having won the comp in 2021 and 2022, Tsitsipas added to his run of success at the ATP 1000 Masters event on Thursday, bumping the figure up to 12 wins in a row with his 6-3, 6-4 third round triumph against Nicolás Jarry.

In what was a 93-minute stunner, second seed Tsitsipas took the Chilean to task in straight sets at the Principality’s centre court, ‘Court Ranier III.’

Tsitsipas capitalised on breaks in Jarry’s serve in consecutive sets to get the upper hand and reach the quarter-finals.

Greece’s “god of tennis” won 32 out of 40 points off the back of his first delivery against Jarry, while regaining the initiative by converting both break points put to him.

“I had to deal with a few [tough] points, especially when he had break points,” Tsitsipas told ATP Tour,” I dealt with those situations very maturely and played precisely, so it was great out here.”

All said and done, Tsitsipas tied up the match with a bow, securing eight aces and a win rate of 80 per cent on his first serves.

“It was all sort of played in the small details, and I’m really happy that I pulled through and gave myself such a good ending to this match,” he said.

He’ll now face off against the USA’s Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals tonight at 10:20pm (AEST).

In other news, Novak Djokovic suffered a “shock” defeat at the hands of Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti yesterday, which saw him booted from the competition.

Though the Italian seemed to falter in the first set with a 4-6 result in Djokovic’s favour, Musetti came back swinging to win the second (7-5) and third (6-4) sets.

It was an almost three-hour bout, Djokovic seemed to struggle with his positioning on the court, while dropping his serve eight times.

With an hour’s suspension due to rain, the Serb seemed like he might be poised to make a comeback, but it wasn’t meant to be.

His third early exit from the competition in as many years left his opponent on the verge of tears, who described his defeat of Djokovic as a “dream.”

Musetti now looks forward to a showdown with fellow Italian Jannik Sinner tonight at 11:00pm (AEST).
