Andy Murray fell to a 6-0 6-4 defeat at the hands of world number three Novak Djokovic at the Monte Carlo Masters.

Djokovic quickly seized the upper hand, breaking the British number one in his lengthy first service game and then again to race to the opening set.

Murray found his rhythm in the second set and he broke Djokovic at 2-1 but the Serbian broke straight back.

The Scot stayed with Djokovic only to tamely hand his rival the break - and the match - in the 10th game.
