INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – The big news was the upset of No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic, at the hands of a most unlikely vanquisher in lucky loser Luca Nardi.
Among the unseeded also in action were Fils … and Monfils.
The French heir apparently is coming along, though not Monday. But the legend has put together some truly impressive tennis this week. Including on Monday.
Rune v Musetti could have been Raonic v Shapovalov.
But life had other plans.
