Big sensation. Djokovic lost the Masters final by taking the first set.
On November 6, the Masters final took place in Paris.
In the title match Novak Djokovic (#7 ATP) lost to a 19-year-old in three heavy sets Holger Rune from Denmark (No. 18 ATP).
Paris. End
Novak Djokovic (Serbia) – Holger Rune (Denmark) – 6:3, 3:6, 5:7
Djokovic, who previously won six titles here, played in the Paris Masters final for the eighth time.
Rune beat the top fifteen players on the way to the trophy to win the Masters Series title for the first time. This is Holger’s third win of the season in ATP tournaments, though previous ones were at the Series 250 level.
Rune has won 19 of the last 21 games, ending Djokovic’s 13-game winning streak.
Starting next week, Holger will move up to 10th place in the world rankings, while Novak will regress to eighth place.
