Quick Glance: Surprising End of Novak Djokovic's Indian Wells Campaign Against Luca Nardi
- After a five-year hiatus, Novak Djokovic returned to Indian Wells, but his venture in the California desert ended sooner than expected with Luca Nardi's impressive 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 victory.
- While Djokovic displayed uncharacteristic negligence, Nardi appeared sharp, showcasing quick play and powerful serves and forehands against the 24-time Grand Slam champion he admired.
- The surprise of Luca Nardi's triumph over Novak Djokovic in Indian Wells was significant - even for Nardi himself.
- Nardi entered as a 'lucky loser,' replacing an injured player. He became the lowest-ranked player to defeat Djokovic in a Grand Slam or ATP Masters 1000 event.
