Novak Djokovic lost to a Serb countryman for the first time in 11 years in the quarterfinals of the Srpska Open on Friday.
Dusan Lajovic won 6-4, 7-6 (6) to down a world No. 1-ranked player for the first time.
바카라śIt is the biggest win of my career,바카라ť Lajovic said on court. 바카라śThe emotions are very mixed because I바카라™m playing here in front of the home town and I바카라™m also playing against Nole, who is a good friend and he바카라™s a hero of our country.
바카라śBeating him, it바카라™s something that I didn바카라™t even think is going to be possible, but it happened.바카라ť
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.
바카라śDusan is a fantastic person, great guy,바카라ť Djokovic said. 바카라śSomeone I바카라™ve known for a very long time, since he started playing professional tennis. So many times on the Davis Cup team together, trained together. I바카라™m happy for him, to be honest. He deserved to win today.바카라ť
Following his third loss of the year, Djokovic moves on to the Madrid Open next week.
