Novak Djokovic faced a major setback at Indian Wells, marking one of his career’s worst defeats. However, his reaction to a contentious moment during the match drew widespread criticism.

In the second set, Djokovic protested to the umpire, convinced that his opponent, Luca Nardi, had paused during a rally. The umpire’s immediate dismissal of Djokovic’s complaint, alongside the critical reaction from social media, highlighted the controversy.

"He literally stopped" 🤯

Nardi ranked No. 123 and entering as a “lucky loser,” seemed to falter momentarily in responding to Djokovic’s serve. Due to Nardi’s hesitation, Djokovic halted the play to dispute with the umpire, demanding a hindrance call. The umpire, however, stood firm, leading to a heated debate.

The incident ignited a flurry of reactions from tennis enthusiasts online, who largely supported the umpire’s stance and Nardi’s commendable performance against Djokovic. Djokovic’s first to a player ranked outside the top 100 since his defeat by Jiri Vesely in Dubai’s quarter-finals in 2022.

Novak Djokovic is surprised by his level in recent games but is looking to the next tournaments to grab some more trophies 🏆🔥
