You don't see Rafael Nadal lose on a clay court often but Russian tennis player Andrey Rublev on Friday stunned the former world number one on his favourite surface. Rublev won the quarter-final clash  6-2 4-6 6-2  as he prevented Nadal from winning the Monte Carlo Masters for a record 12th time. This was the first tournament for Nadal after getting knocked out of the Australian Open earlier this year and admitted that he wasn't 100%. This is just the 6th loss for Nadal at Monte Carlo Masters after playing 79 matches and winning 11 titles.
