Novak Djokovic Upset by Philipp Kohlschreiber in Second Round at Indian Wells

Novak Djokovic is out of the Indian Wells Masters, losing 6-4, 6-4 to world No. 39 Philipp Kohlschreiber in the third round.

The world No. 1 suffered the loss in his first tournament since he dominated his way to his 15th Grand Slam title in the Australian Open, crushing Rafael Nadal in the final. But on Tuesday, Djokovic struggled on serve and was broken three times by Kohlschreiber in the match. This was the 35-year-old Kohlschreiber's first win over a world No. 1 in his career. Prior to this match, the German was 1-8 against Djokovic, with his only win coming at Roland Garros in 2009.
