Novak Djokovic criticized for post-match conversation with opponent: ‘Embarrassing
Novak Djokovic’s upset loss earlier this week did not come without some controversy.
Luca Nardi, the 123rd-ranked player in the world, upset the world’s best in Djokovic Monday at Indian Wells, beating him 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in the round of 32 of the BNP Paribas Open.
During the second set, there was a moment when Nardi seemed surprised by an “in” call and casually hit the ball back over the net. After some
apparent confusion, Nardi won the point, which led to Djokovic complaining to the official about a potential hindrance.
