Luca Nardi beat Novak Djokovic 6-4, 3-6 and 6-3 in the third round of the Indian Wells Masters 1000. The Italian became the fourth lowest-ranked player to beat a world number one.

In tennis there is a rule called " hintrance", whose literal translation into Spanish would be "obstacle" or "hindrance". It is sanctioned when the judge considers that one of the players performs some action to distract or harm his rival. Nardi will face the American Tommy Paul in the round of 16.
