I couldn’t even imagine to play a match against him, and now I also beat him. So it’s such a dream come true for me,” Luca Nardi said afterward.

My level was really, really bad,” Djokovic said. Photo credit: Rob Stone/@RobStoneTennis “Incredible. Against Djokovic, he’s the best player ever. So I think that I will keep it, this moment for me, for the rest of my life,” Luca Nardi said after his stunning upset.
