NEW DELHI: Novak Djokovic expressed his dismay at his unexpected third-round exit from the Rome Open, describing it as "concerning." The defeat came just two days after he was struck on the head by a bottle, an incident that left him experiencing symptoms of nausea and dizziness.
Djokovic's bid for a record-extending 41st Masters 1000 title came to an abrupt end at the hands of Alejandro Tabilo, a Chilean player ranked 32nd in the world. Tabilo's victory marked his first win over a top-10 opponent, as he defeated Djokovic convincingly with a scoreline of 6-2, 6-3.
