Luca Nardi: the lucky loser who stunned world No. 1 Novak Djokovic

Luca Nardi's breakthrough arrived through a second chance. Ranked No. 123 at Indian Wells in 2024, the Italian entered as a lucky loser and defeated world No. 1 Novak Djokovic 6-4, 3-6, 6-3. He became the lowest-ranked player to beat Djokovic at a Masters 1000 or Grand Slam event. Nardi later reached his first ATP quarterfinal in Dubai in 2025, again as a lucky loser, and rose to No. 67. His foundation includes seven Challenger titles, three won as a teenager in 2022, plus a 2023 Next Gen ATP Finals appearance.

US Open story

Luca Nardi US Open record: first-round appearances in 2024 and 2025

Nardi made his US Open main-draw debut in 2024 and lost in the first round. He returned in 2025 for another opening-round assignment, facing No. 21 seed Tomas Machac. Machac won 6-3, 6-1, 6-1 in eighty minutes, leaving Nardi still searching for his first New York main-draw victory. The two appearances nevertheless mark a transition from Challenger prospect to direct Grand Slam competitor. His official record should be read precisely: two men's singles main draws, both first-round finishes, with no US Open qualifying run or later round added to that history.

What to watch

Luca Nardi fan watch: a favorite forehand and the freedom of a dangerous second chance

Nardi lists hard court as his favorite surface and the forehand as his favorite shot, and his best upset showed both preferences at full speed. Against Djokovic at Indian Wells, he struck with enough conviction to take away time while accepting the risk of a decisive third set. The phrase 'lucky loser' appears repeatedly in his story—Indian Wells, Dubai and Cincinnati—but the second chance only opens the door; Nardi still has to change the match himself. Watch for the forehand taken from inside the baseline and whether his footwork stays organized when a defender sends one extra ball back.
