Concern after the latest defeat for Novak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis player ranked number one in the ATP rankings, who in his career is not used to not winning for too long periods. The champion made some statements after losing to Luca Nardi, who achieved a real feat at Indian Wells, beating Nole in three sets. Some signs of dismay had already been shown by the Serbian on the occasion of the defeat with Sinner, last January, in the semifinals of the Australian Open.
Djokovic's Alarm
«Usually at this point of the year, I have already won a Slam or Dubai: I am not used to zero titles». Nole Djokovic appears decidedly bitter about this phase of his career, which after the knockout with Nardi at Indian Wells does not hesitate to define as «a negative cycle», launching a real alarm. «I did not know Nardi directly, but I had seen that he plays quality tennis - the Serbian explained - The problem is that I played terrible tennis. I'm sorry, I hadn't come to Indian Wells for five years and I wanted to do well. Now there's Miami, which is close by. Let's see...».
The Defeat with Nardi
Luca Nardi, the Italian tennis player ranked 123 in the world, has made history. In the round of 32 of Indian Wells, an ATP 1000 tournament, he beat the number one Novak Djokovic, with the score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. A real feat, considering that it was since 2008 that the Serbian, number 1 in the world ranking, had not lost against a player outside the top 100.
