Sensation at the Rome Masters. Djokovic lost to Tabilo and exited the tournament

The Rome Masters is gradually reaching its midpoint. Today, third-round matches are taking place, and a loud sensation has already occurred.

The world's top-ranked player, Novak Djokovic, unexpectedly lost to the 32nd-ranked player in the world, Alejandro Tabilo from Chile. The Serbian failed to hold his serve twice in a row at the start of the match and conceded the first set without a fight — 2:6. The second set was more competitive, but Tabilo's early break proved decisive.

Throughout the match, Djokovic served 7 aces, made 4 double faults, and didn't earn a single break point. In the fourth round, Tabilo will face Karen Khachanov, while Djokovic exits the tournament even earlier than last year.
