Tomas Martin Etcheverry: Luca Nardi, a 20-year-old Italian, who entered the Paribas Open main draw as a lucky loser, stunned the World No.1 Novak Djokovic in 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in two hours and 17 minutes in the third round.

Last week Nardi lost in the final round of qualifying to David Goffin, but he got the call to enter the draw as a Lucky Loser when Argentina’s Tomas Martin Etcheverry pulled out of the draw.

The World No.123-ranked Italian becomes the lowest-ranked player in history to earn a win over Djokovic at a Masters 1000 or Grand Slam event. He is also the fourth lowest-ranked player to beat a reigning World No. 1 at a Masters 1000.
