Nadal through after scare, Djokovic exits Monte Carlo Masters l smhsport
The roller-coaster match on Friday tested Nadal both mentally and physically, but his eventual victory after two hours and 20 minutes ensured his bid for an unprecedented 12th title in Monaco continues unabated.
Nadal imperiously won last year without conceding more than four games in a set. So Pella will have regrets, considering he was serving for a 5-1 first-set lead when he double-faulted.Although Nadal won the next four games to level at 5-5, he dropped his wayward serve again. It gave Pella the chance to become the first player to take a set against him here since Britain's Kyle Edmund in the second round two years ago.
Earlier, the 10th-seeded Medvedev was appearing in the last eight of a Masters tournament for the first time but Djokovic struggled more in the windy conditions.
