Thiago Tirante upsets Novak Djokovic at Cincinnati Open FAST-MOVING
Thiago Tirante secured a historic victory over Novak Djokovic in the second round of the Cincinnati Open. The Argentine player, ranked 50th in the ATP, defeated the three-time champion with a score of 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 in a match lasting 2 hours and 44 minutes.
Djokovic, the world number 5, initially dominated the first set but struggled significantly due to extreme heat and humidity in Ohio. During the second set, the Serbian player requested medical attention and appeared to vomit, citing a long-standing health issue that is exacerbated by hot and humid conditions.
Tirante capitalized on the physical decline of his opponent, utilizing his serve and forehand to complete the comeback. This win marks one of the most significant achievements of Tirante's career and makes him one of the few Argentines to have defeated Djokovic. He will face Martin Landaluce in the next round.
