Chilean ousts Novak Djokovic from Rome tournament  - 1

Chilean Alejandro Tabillo has achieved the most prestigious victory of his career after knocking out world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the third round of the tournament " Masters" in Rome with a score of 6:2, 6:3, broadcasts BTA.

Six-time champion Djokovic did not look like himself against Tabilo, who made a brilliant match, and legally said goodbye to the tournament. Tabilo, who is number 32 in the world, started very strongly and took a 4-0 lead after just a few minutes of play. His Serbian opponent never found an answer and surrendered the first set in 31 minutes.

The situation on the court did not change much in the second set either. In it, Tabilo once again took the lead with a breakthrough at the very beginning, and managed to realize another one at the end to win the match after only 68 minutes.

In the fourth round, Tabilo will face the Russian Karen Khachanov, who eliminated the Argentine Francisco Cherundolo after 6:2, 6:4. The Brazilian Thiago Monteiro and the Portuguese Nuno Borges, who achieved three-set victories over the Serbian Miomir Kecsmanovic and the Italian Francesco Passaro, respectively, continue to the next phase.
