Novak Djokovic was defeated by Jiri Vesely in the quarterfinals in Dubai, what can we conclude from this defeat and can a Serb lead the ATP again?
The Serbian tennis player failed to win the title after missing the Australian Open.
The real feat was made by Vesely, who was a better rival in the duel with the world’s first racket until recently.
The Czech is playing a dream tournament in Dubai. He eliminated Popyrin, ili, Bautista, and Djokovic in the qualifying round.
What is even more impressive is that the 123rd player in the world won only one qualifying match before Dubai! In addition to this, with this victory, Vesely became one of the few players with a positive score with Novak. Before him, Kyrigos and Safin did that, and they all have the same number of victories – two, while they never lost to the Serbs.
