“Lucky Loser” Nardi sensationally took out Grand Slam record champion Djokovic, his childhood idol, in the third round when he returned to the tour and spoke of a “miracle”.

The 20-year-old, who only slipped into the main draw due to a withdrawal, became only the sixth player outside the top 100 to defeat a world number one at a Masters tournament since 1990.

But he was in a losing position against Paul in the round of 16. The American will now face Norwegian Casper Ruud in the quarterfinals.

The former French Open and US Open finalist wrestled the veteran French star Gael Monfils after being down in a set 3:6, 7:6 (7:3), 6:4.

Medvedev wins with concentration

Australian Open finalist Daniil Medvedev acted more confidently against Bulgarian oldie Grigor Dimitrov.

The Russian won 6:4, 6:4 after a concentrated performance and is hoping to reach the final in the Californian desert like in 2023.

In the round of the last eight, Medvedev will first face the winner of the game between 2022 winner Taylor Fritz (USA) and Holger Rune (Denmark).
