Djokovic, negative record!
Novak Djokovic left Indian Wells after the first match. Nole was eliminated in the second round by the Dutchman Van de Zandschulp.
It was 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 for the Dutch.
Djokovic, who has lost 3 matches in a row for the first time in the last 6 years, has hardly found his words after defeat.
« Something happens always, but I don't want to talk about it. There is no excuse for my bad performance today. I wasn't in the match, but greetings to my opponent.
I think it was a bad day, I regret my level of tennis compared to what I showed at workouts. The difference between the central land and the training land is high, I could not find the right pace for any moment, ”said Nole at the end, quoted by Eurosport.
With this failure, Djokovic checked an unwanted negative record. Eliminated last year from Indian Wells by Luca Nardi, who had reached the painting by Lucky Loser, Novak Djokovic became the first top 10 ATP player, from 1990, who loses in the same tournament, in successive years, at a Lucky Loser.
