Novak Djokovic was defeated by Jiri Vesely in the quarterfinals of the Masters in Dubai with the result 2:0 (6:4, 7:6) and thus left the first place to Medvedev!
The Czech who has a dream tournament was too big a bite for the shaky Djokovic today. After qualifying for the tournament, he eliminated Popirin, Cilic, Bautista, and now Novak.
With this victory, he entered the club of rare tennis players who managed to defeat the Serbian tennis player more than once and have a positive score with them. In addition to Vesely, Kyrgios and Safin also have a positive score, and it is interesting that all three players have an identical score of 2-0 in relation to Djokovic.
This defeat also marked the end of Novak’s rule at the top of the ATP list, since Danil Medvedev will definitely take first place from Monday. The Russian will be the player of the world after the flattering confession belonged to the Serb for 361 weeks!
