Djokovic crashes out of Qatar Open

DOHA: Novak Djokovic was surprisingly defeated in Doha on Friday, beaten in the Qatar Open semi-final by world number 24, Roberto Bautista Agut, 6-3, 6-7 (8/6), 6-4.

The Serb fell to his first defeat of the season in a high-quality contest lasting more than two-and-a-half hours, which saw the Spaniard lose his first set of the week but still come back against the world number one.

Agut needed just one match point to secure victory and will play either Tomas Berdych or Marco Cecchinato in Saturday’s final.
