Djokovic's surprising defeat to Opelka highlights the unpredictability of tennis; while he suffered an 'impotent performance', Opelka displayed remarkable skill and composure.
Opelka, who stands 6ft 11ins tall, showcased one of the biggest serves in the world, firing 16 aces against Djokovic and facing just one break point.
Opelka reflected on facing Djokovic, acknowledging the pressure as the greatest player: 'You end up playing more free and taking risks because it's your only chance.'
This victory represents a significant comeback for Opelka, who aims to return to the top levels of the sport after a prolonged absence due to surgeries.
