Novak Djokovic faced a shocking defeat at Indian Wells when he lost to world No.123 Luca Nardi in what has been deemed the worst loss of his storied career. The match included a meltdown during the second set, where Djokovic was seen complaining to the chair umpire over a non-hindrance call. Despite the incident, Djokovic was able to recover and send the match into a decider.
Nardi, on the other hand, displayed sharp gameplay, racing around the court and hitting powerful serves and forehands to beat the 24-time grand slam champion he grew up idolizing. The two players exchanged words at the net after the match, with Djokovic allegedly making a comment referencing the second-set incident that had occurred.
Fans and tennis reporters were quick to criticize Djokovic for his behavior, with many calling it a new low for the Serbian superstar. In his post-match media conference, Djokovic expressed shock at his poor performance and admitted that Nardi played great and deserved to win.
Looking ahead, Djokovic mentioned that he would likely compete in the Miami Open later this month in search of his first title of the year. Despite the recent setbacks, Djokovic remains determined to break the negative cycle and return to his best form on the court.
Nardi, who described his victory as a "miracle," will now face American Tommy Paul in the next round. The fallout from Djokovic's loss at Indian Wells has sparked discussions among fans and experts alike, highlighting the unpredictable nature of professional tennis and the resilience required to bounce back from defeat.
