Dusan Lajovic won 6-4, 7-6 (6) to down a world No. 1-ranked player for the first time.

바카라It is the biggest win of my career,바카라 Lajovic said on court. 바카라The emotions are very mixed because I바카라m playing here in front of the home town and I바카라m also playing against Nole, who is a good friend and he바카라s a hero of our country.

바카라Beating him, it바카라s something that I didn바카라t even think is going to be possible, but it happened.바카라

Djokovic converted only one of 16 break chances, and missed three set points in the tiebreaker.

His previous loss to a fellow Serb was in 2012 to Janko Tipsarevic in Madrid.

바카라Dusan is a fantastic person, great guy,바카라 Djokovic said. 바카라Someone I바카라ve known for a very long time, since he started playing professional tennis. So many times on the Davis Cup team together, trained together. I바카라m happy for him, to be honest. He deserved to win today.바카라

Following his third loss of the year, Djokovic moves on to the Madrid Open next week.
