There was a time, not so long ago, when Novak Djokovic lost so rarely that it seemed the tennis world wobbled on its axis every time he did, shaking with the shock of it all.

Novak Djokovic, who was ousted in the third round last year, fell 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 to Botic Van De Zandschulp in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open on Saturday.

Novak Djokovic‘s aura is fading, believes French tennis journalist Benoit Maylin. The 24-time Grand Slam champion recently suffered another early exit – this time, at Indian Wells.
