Opelka becomes the second lowest-ranked tennis player to defeat Djokovic

The fact that Reilly Opelka is currently ranked 293 in the world may be considered circumstantial and anecdotal, but the truth is that with his victory over Novak Djokovic, the American has become the second-lowest-ranked player to defeat the Serbian. Topping this curious list is Filip Krajinovic, who beat Nole in the Belgrade tournament in 2010 when he was ranked 319 in the world.
