As the saying goes, every good thing comes to an end. One of Novak Djokovic’s special streak was broken yesterday in the final of the Paris Masters. The 21-time Grand Slam champion had a unique record of not losing an ATP 1000 match after winning the first set. The 35-year-old was in tremendous form and was eying his third straight ATP title.

Playing against Danish rising star Holger Rune, he started well in the final and won the first set. However, the streak of never losing a match after winning the first set ended as Rune took the next two sets. It was pretty similar to Undertaker’s record at WrestleMania. Here’s how fans reacted to Djokovic’s record being broken.

Holger Rune ends Djokovic’s ‘The Undertaker-like’ streak

WWE legend, The Undertaker, had a record that seemed almost unbeatable. He was undefeated 21 times in WrestleMania. However, the streak ended in 2014 when he lost to Brock Lesnar. Similarly, Djokovic’s 30-match streak of winning an ATP 1000 match after winning the first set was broken yesterday.

It was the 19-year-old rising star, Holger Rune, who ended it. It was an emotional moment for the fans who adore the Serb. Here’s how the fans reacted after Djokovic’s loss yesterday.

Apart from the above stat, the 35-year-old also lost another streak. After his defeat against the Spanish tennis great Rafael Nadal in the French Open, this was the first time he lost a match. Djokovic successfully defended his Wimbledon title. Further, the 21-time Grand Slam champion clinched titles at the Tel Aviv and Astana Open.

He continued his good form in the Paris Masters and was rampant in his approach. He got some real challenge in the semifinal from the Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas. However, the Serb held his nerves to overcome the tough challenge. In the final, again it was a close contest, but the 35-year-old failed to emerge victorious this time.
