Novak Djokovic has been knocked out of the Monte Carlo Masters in the second round. He’s lost to the Czech world number 55 Jiri Vesely 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. It’s the first time the Serbian world number one has lost a completed match since August and it’s the earliest he’s exited a competition in three years.  Earlier this year Djokovic was forced to retire from his Dubai Tennis Championships quarter-final against Feliciano Lopez due to an eye problem.

Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante have been nominated for the PFA player of the year award. The six-man shortlist is completed by West Ham’s Dimitri Payet, Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil. Tottenham and Everton are well represented in the young player category, with Dele Alli and Harry Kane joining Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku. Also on the list are Stoke’s Jack Butland and Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho.

Athletes caught using meldonium could avoid a ban after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has admitted there is no consensus on how long the body takes to excrete the drug. WADA announced it was adding the heart disease medicine to its banned list in September, with the rule coming into force on 1 January, and there have been more than 120 positive tests since then. Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova was the first high-profile athlete to test positive for the Latvian-made drug (in a test taken at the end of January) but since then leading Russian athletes from boxing, skating, swimming and winter sports have all failed tests.
