1/5
Novak Djokovic has to pack his bags in Indian Wells.

Novak Djokovic fails in the third round of the ATP 1000 tournament in Indian Wells. The little-known Italian Luca Nardi, number 123 in the rankings, is causing a stir against the Serbian.

This has never happened to Djokovic. He has never lost at a tournament of this category or at a Grand Slam event against an opponent ranked so low in the world. The 20-year-old Nardi, who claimed only his fifth victory on the tour, defeated the Serbian 6:4, 3:6, 6:3 in his first appearance in California in five years.

The history of this game gives Nardi’s victory an extra touch of extraordinary. The Italian already failed in qualifying against the Belgian David Goffin, but slipped into the main draw as a so-called “lucky loser” ahead of the Argentinian Tomas Martin Etcheverry. With Djokovic, Nardi beats his great idol. Before the tournament started, he said he had a poster of the Serbian hanging in his room.

In the round of 16, Nardi will face American Tommy Paul, number 17 in the world rankings. (SDA)
