Novak Djokovic has been knocked out of the Dubai Tennis Championships, falling in straight sets 6-4 7-6(4) to Czech Republic's Jiri Vesely.

Novak Djokovic will fall from No. 1 in the ATP rankings and be replaced by Daniil Medvedev after losing 6-4, 7-6 (4) to Czech qualifier Jiri Vesely in the quarterfinals of the Dubai Championships on Thursday.
Novak Djokovic lost his Dubai quarter-final and his world number one ranking in one go on Thursday as he suffered a 6-4, 7-6 (7/4) upset at the hands of Czech world number 123 Jiri Vesely.

But Vesely had other ideas as the left-handed qualifier improved his career record against Djokovic to 2-0 - a result that will see Medvedev become the first man since 2004 outside the "Big Four" - Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Andy Murray - to occupy the number one ranking on Monday.
