The Indian Wells Masters had a number of upsets in their first week. The men's singles seeds that have been eliminated include top seed Zverev and third seed Ruud. However, given their all-time record in the tournament (the worst of the nine), the elimination was not too much of a surprise.

Rublev and Aliassime, who have already won the tournament this year and finished first and second in the 500 last week, have also been eliminated. However, the biggest upset came this morning, Beijing time, when five-time champion Novak Djokovic made his tournament debut and suffered three consecutive defeats on tour.

Djokovic is arguably the most successful player in tournament history, as he shares Federer's number of titles with him for the top spot in the men's singles rankings. Now, however, he has failed to make it past the first three rounds in four consecutive tournaments.

The opponent in this round, Van der Shanchop, was only a lucky loser before, and was even sent to the egg in the qualifying round, but the player has full dark horse nature.

Looking at its results in the past 52 weeks, it can really be described as wonderful. The player, who has yet to win a tour title so far, has an overall record of a measly 3-20 against opponents ranked in the top 50 in the world. Of the three victories, one was on clay at the Madrid Masters, where Eubanks had only been on grass for one year, and one was due to the retirement of personality player Bublik.

And, of course, there was the famous third match, which was last year's US Open three-set defeat to 2022 tournament champion Alcaraz. Looking back at that game, Aka's performance was not too bad, but the Dutchman performed like a god and finally created a shocking cold, unlike this game against Deyo, the old king's performance was really not satisfactory.

And in the recent period, in the performance against the Grand Slam champion, he was nicknamed Fan Shangshu by my country's fans, and he was like a different person. In the past four battles, he has a total of 3 wins and 1 loss! In addition to beating Arca at the US Open, he also successfully played the role of Nadal's career finisher at last year's Davis Cup.

At that time, no one expected that the Spanish Matadors would be defeated in front of the Dutch team, after all, the two singles players of the opposing team at that time, Gricospor and Van der Shanchop, were perennially stable in their career rankings in the thirties and forties. However, Nadal, who was invincible for Spain in the past, suffered a bitter defeat in the curtain call of his career.

In addition, today's Rick Deyo completed a wave of three consecutive kills of Acre, Nadal, and Deyo, this honor is a feat that ordinary players have not been able to complete in their careers! It's a pity that Fan Shangshu, who has reached the finals of the tour several times, has not opened his beard so far, can he take advantage of this enthusiasm to make a big deal this season?(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
