The fans developed an immense respect for the Italian ATP star Luca Nardi when he defeated Novak Djokovic at Indian Wells. While everyone expected an easy win for the Serb, comparing the stats between the two, Nardi turned the tables.

While he continued to be a part of other tournaments in Miami as well as Monte Carlo, his consistently active schedule took him to the ATP 250 event in Bucharest. However, little did the Italian tennis sensation have any idea of facing an injury in the middle of a showdown. During his ongoing match against Thiago Seyboth Wild, Nardi was compelled to step out of the court in order to seek immediate medical attention for the injury.

Thiago, presenting true levels of sportsmanship, rushed forward to his aid, offering his Italian opponent a chair to be stable and wait for the medical team. While there’s still no clarification about the intensity of his injury, it still remains to be seen if he will be able to continue the match.

Nardi, ranked at no.123, started to gain recognition after his amazing victory over Novak Djokovic. The tennis star attracted the attention of fans by making his way through the qualifiers and ending up beating the world no.1. Although he faced a defeat in the next match against the American Tommy Paul, this remarkable win against the legendary player made him a topic of continuous conversations.

Now that he currently finds himself struggling on the clay court of Bucharest, his fate in the ATP 250 event appears to be covered with dark clouds.

Luca Nardi goes ‘crazy’ after his win over Novak Djokovic

The fact that Luca Nardi was able to defeat Novak Djokovic even after not being a part of the top 100 made the outcome even more extraordinary. While it was undoubtedly a reason for the Italian to have no room to hold his excitement, it was evident in his post-victory speech.

“I think it is a miracle, because I am a 20-year-old guy, 100 in the world, and beating Novak. It’s crazy,” he said, finding it hard to believe the outcome. Along with that, he also highlighted the fact that this win provided him with a quick boost in recognition. “I think that before this night no one knew me. I hope that the crowd enjoyed the game. I’m super happy with this one,” he added. As he continues on his journey to be a better player, this win acts as a medal in his professional portfolio.
