Almost no one expected that Novak Djokovic's run at Indian Wells would end as early as the second round.

The Indian Wells Masters saw a huge shock as Novak Djokovic was surprised by World No. 85 Botic Van De Zandschulp in the opening round. The Dutchman beat the 24-time Grand Slam champion 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 to blow the bottom half of the draw entirely open.
