After the victory over Sinner, it's over for Djokovic

The world number one lost one day after his second round victory over Jannik Sinner in the third round to the British Daniel Evans after 2:07 hours with 4:6,5:7. Evans, who is three years younger than the Serb, won the two's first tour duel. After his most valuable win to date, Evans will now face Belgian David Goffin in the quarter-finals.

Djokovic praised Evans as a deserving winner, but did not spare himself with self-criticism. “That was probably one of my worst matches in years,” explained the “Djoker”. The day before he had extended his series to 6-4,6 victories this year with a smooth 2:10:0 win over Sinner. In the second match on clay and also the second after the Melbourne title, “Nole” was eliminated. Djokovic is struggling “It was completely different than yesterday. “It was obviously very, very windy, difficult to play against a player like Evans who moves you a lot,” Djokovic said. The Serbian is known for being very reluctant to play in strong winds. Evans, number 33 in the world, used his slice often and it benefited him. “I haven’t realized that yet. It's a big victory. The biggest thing is that you have to believe that you can win,” says the Brit, his secret recipe.

The victory came as a surprise to Evans; it was the biggest of his career to date. The 30-year-old Brit caused the Australian Open winner's first defeat this year. Now he faces Goffin, who knocked Alexander Zverev out of the tournament.
