The difficult start of Novak Djokovic for this season continued in North American stadiums as it crashed from Indian Wales with a very weak performance in his opening match, where he lost 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 in the second round to the world No. 85, Bushi Van de Zandchulb.
Although the best performance of this year is produced The victory of four groups over Carlos Carrez In the Australian Open, Djokovic has lost three consecutive games since this victory. Djokovic suffered a thigh injury as he beat Alcaraz, forcing him to retire from him The semi -finals against Alexander Zverev Then he fell in the first round of Qatar Open last month in front of Matteo Bertini.
When I looked at Andy Murray, who was increasingly depressed by his box, Djokovic’s lack of matches was clear throughout the terrible opening group, which included a long time as he struggled to win by winning. The Dutchman strengthened its early progress by winning 18 of 19 points in the middle of the group. While Van De Zandschulp served well and has been very consistent and concentrated, Djokovic mistakes are not elaborate.
Djokovic initially responded well with adversity, and while he started finding its range and connecting it, the second group overlap to create 5-1. However, even when he forced the final group, Djokovic’s focus and general level were unconvincing. His first attempt to serve the group ended with him recognizing the service game.
In the final set, it was Van De Zandschulp that took the first step, fell abundant returns and drawing errors from Djokovic with his movement and consistency. When Djokovic, Indian Wells champion five times, is able to find other equipment under pressure and move on a way to victory, and this time he had nothing at all to present it against an inspiring discount because he was quickly ignored.
Van De Zandschulp had fallen into straight groups to No. 217, Matteo GiGante, in the final round before entering the main clouds as a lucky loser. Djokovic is the first 10 best players to lose a lucky loser in successive years at the ATP MA after Luka Nardi defeated him last year. Van de Zandschulp is also the third lucky loser that overcomes Djokovic in his career.
Earlier on Saturday, Jacques Dripper He opened its Indian Wales, with a wonderful performance against Joao Fonsika, which neutralized the wonderful Brazilian industry to reach the third round by winning 6-4 and 6-0.
Dripper, the thirteenth seed, entered the court to know that he had dealt with one of the most difficult clouds among the players. At only 18 years old, FONSECA was a great star this year, and after winning three groups over the British Jacob Vernelli, he entered the second round that was contacted while Dierber tried to find his feet after receiving goodbye from the first round.
FONSECA has already created himself as one of the most destructive shots makers in the game, but Dripper effectively actively Brazilian in the opening group with his defense, as he extracted unhelpful errors from FONSECA with his skills to retrieve while stirring countless points from defense to attack.
With the guaranteed opening set, Draper dictated and produced one of his best collections of the year so far to close an excellent victory.
The British player enjoyed an extraordinary start for this season, as he tries to unite his position at the sport summit after his penetration season last year.
Indian Wells only represents his third championship of the season due to a hip injury. With a very little rhythm, the 23 -year -old was not always able to call the best offensive tennis, but he fought brilliantly and showed his hardness by finding ways to win constantly. His victory over Fonseca suggested that he began to restore his rhythm.

He said, “I feel really good.” “I faced some problems in the end of last year and early this year. It was difficult because when I played last year, I gained consistency. I lost the first and second rounds, so I managed to train and go again. While at the beginning of this year, I played a lot of marathon matches this year and then in Doha, I played five other games at the highest level. I got there but it was only important to get it at the beginning of the season.”
Dripper will then face the American Jennson Brooksby, who started from a 6-4 and 6-2 victory over Felix Oumasim, the seventeenth seed of Canadian.
Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz began his defense with a leadership performance, as he diluted the past Queen Halz 6-4, 6-2 to reach the third round.
Elsewhere, Sonay Kartal, British No. 3, has achieved her good story in California because she produced the best performance in her career to reach the third round as a losing loser with his victory 6-2, 6-1 over the sixteenth seed, Peters Haddad Maya from Brazil.
On Monday, it seems that Kartal has just decreased from the main tie after a narrow match was lost three groups for the world No. 259, the American. Clervie Ngounoue. Instead, Kartal was finally transferred to the main clouds as a lucky loser after Slon Stevens withdrew. I have played with complete freedom since then.
Kartal’s victory over Haddad Mia topped the first 30 wins in her career. Indeed, up to his new career in high rank on No. 70 this week of its current rating No. 83, Kartal will face Polina Kodermtova from Russia to get a place in the fourth round.
