 Novak Djokovic vs. Alex Diminor is the third quarterfinal for the men's Monte Carlo Masters for 2024. And both guys have been super impressive to get to the quarterfinals. Diminor entered the tournament as the number 11 seed and will take on Stan Vavrenko in the first round, which is no problem getting through in straights, 6-3-6 love. In the second round he take on Grigsbor, and this was a battle. After dropping the first set, he would fight back to win 2-6-6-2-6-3. In the third round he take on Popperon, who had just taken out Rueblev the number 6 seed in the previous round, which is no problem for Diminor getting through in straights, 6-3-6-4 to advance to the quarterfinals. Djokovic entered the tournament as the number one seed and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round he take on Saphulan, which is no problem getting through in straights, 6-1-6-2. In the third round he take on Musetti, the man that had beat him last year in Monte Carlo. And after a close first set, Djokovic would get through in straights, 7-5-6-3 to advance to the quarterfinals. These two guys have only played twice before with the head-to-head split down the middle 1-1, including a match earlier this year with Diminor getting a straightsets win over Djokovic. But remember at the start of the year, Djokovic was injured, so I don't know how much weight we can put into that win, but it will give Diminor a massive confidence boost going into this match. If Diminor is going to win this one, he needs to use his gas tank and use his legs to really drag out the rallies and try and get Djokovic hitting more and more shots. Djokovic did look a little bit weird against Musetti. He did look a little bit tired as well at times against Musetti, so he really has to drag out these rallies, Diminor, if he's any chance of winning. Djokovic is going to win this one. He needs to improve his net game. He came to the net a lot against Musetti and it just didn't work. For whatever reason, also he needs to figure out why he was getting so tired. He was shaking at the change of ends at one point as well, so he's really going to have to get up to a good start because against Musetti, he also went down a break. This is such a great matchup. A rematch again for Djokovic in this tournament this time against Diminor, but I've got to go with Djokovic in this one. On the clay courts, I feel like Nolay just has a bit of an edge on Diminor, and I reckon he's going to get through in a close straightsets. But let me know down in the comments below who's going to make the semis.
