A bitter blow
Surprise exit for Novak Djokovic in Brisbane
Record Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic was knocked out of the ATP tennis tournament in Brisbane in the quarter-finals on Friday.
Just over a week before the Australian Open, the Serb lost 6:7(6) and 3:6 to the American Reilly Opelka in the last eight. 37-year-old Djokovic only managed one break chance in the entire match, which he ultimately failed to capitalize on.
It was the first duel between the two. The 2.11 m tall Opelka is only in the main draw by "protected ranking".
