The last time... with Istomin and Djokovic

Shockwaves are still reverberating throughout the tennis world after world No. 117 Denis Istomin took out 12-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in the second round of the Australian Open.

So it's only fitting to play a little game called "The last time…"

1

The last time Djokovic failed to reach the second week in Melbourne Park was 2006 (he lost in the first round to Paul Goldstein).

2

The last time Djokovic lost in the second round of a major was Wimbledon in 2008 (to Marat Safin).

3

The last time Djokovic relinquished a two sets to one lead or greater was his 2010 French Open quarterfinals loss to Jurgen Melzer.

4

The last time Istomin beat a Top 10 player was Indian Wells in 2012 (over then-world No. 5 David Ferrer).

5

The last time Istomin reached the third round of the Australian Open was in 2014 (he lost to—who else?—Djokovic).

6

The last time Djokovic lost to a player ranked outside of the Top 100 was the 2016 Olympics to Juan Martin del Potro.

The Djokovic-Istomin match on Thursday also marked the first time...

1

... Djokovic lost to a player ranked outside of the Top 100 at a Grand Slam.

2

... Istomin beat a Top 10 player at a Grand Slam.

3

... Djokovic lost a five setter against anyone ranked outside of the Top 50.

4

... Istomin won a five setter at the Australian Open.

Istomin will look to reach the fourth round in Melbourne for the first time when he plays No. 30-seeded Pablo Carreno Busta. The last time Istomin upset a Top 10 player, he lost his next match to Del Potro.
