Fast facts from Sonego's Vienna upset of Djokovic

In one of the most shocking upsets in recent history, lucky loser ousted world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in Vienna, 6-2, 6-1.

"Yes, clinching the No. 1 had an effect on me today," Djokovic said. "I’ve done what I came here for, securing the No. 1. And I move completely fine with today’s result. I'm healthy and looking forward to a strong finish in London."

Here are the top facts to know from the unexpected result:

The 25-year-old is the first lucky loser to beat Djokovic ever, and the first time Djokovic has lost to a player outside of the Top 40 since he lost to a world No. 72-ranked Marco Cecchinato at Roland Garros in 2018.
