    The wait goes on for Novak Djokovic in his quest to join Jimmy Connors and Roger Federer as the third man with a century of tennis titles in the post-1968 Open era


    He remains on 99 - after losing in straight sets to Alejandro Tabilo on clay in the round-of-32 at Monte Carlo.

    The result maintains Tabilo's perfect record over the 24-time major winner after victory in their first meeting at Rome last year.
