Italian tennis player Marco Cecchinato stunned the world when he defeated former world number 1, Novak Djokovic. The Italian downed the Serbian ace in 4 sets, taking the first 2, losing the 3rd and winning the 4th during the French Open quarterfinals.

In all honesty, not many were expecting a shock defeat at this stage. Many would have been hoping for a Nadal-Djokovic matchup for old time’s sake. But sadly for them, it wasn’t meant to be this year. Cecchinato will now face Dominic Thiem, who defeated Alexander Zverev earlier.

Here is how social media reacted to the match.
