I mean, how well did Kokkinakis do to keep his cool after this?
I mean, thankfully, he's actually come back pretty quickly,
which probably makes it a little bit easier.
But this is ridiculous.
And Federer maybe didn't like getting shown up with that brilliant pass.
So now he can only stand and watch.
And this youngster has suddenly found himself.
And he saw him coming there.
Call it a turnaround from the youngster.
That finds the line.
Flush. That's as far as it comes from Tomasi.
Well, this one will reverberate.
City of shock and a considerable amount of awe.
As 175 in the world dethrones the king.
Wow, that was easy on the eye.
Double trouble.
Oh, you don't do enough.
You pay the price.
Yes!
Bring it on.
And it's bigger than yours.
That's one for the locking chair.
From one great one to one great performance.
Got it. He's outmaneuvered Djokovic.
Not easy to do.
Vesely's done it nicely.
Core position was key after the drop shot.
Just moving forward so often.
A run of 24 sets in a row for the world number one is snapped here.
And there's a surprise brewing in Monte Carlo.
Still a long way to go.
But Vesely's taken the first set over the world number 164.
Oh, Vesely's done well.
It was that little dink slice, wasn't it?
That would just stay so low to the ground.
Djokovic was just so limited.
Yeah, he's hit that shot better than Djokovic today.
And that takes some doing.
Very impressed with the quality of his field shots under pressure to make today.
Oh, brilliant.
This guy is producing some of the best tennis we've seen from him for a while.
And of course, given the quality of his serve and the fact that Djokovic isn't quite...
It's a little long and a little wayward.
Oh, come on.
I don't know what to say.
Brave or stupid, who cares? He pulled it off.
That was unbelievable.
No one saw that one coming.
He has a 15-0 lead.
Far back behind the baseline, that is.
That can be suicide.
He's missed it.
Set a match.
Victory for Yuri Vesely.
Over the defending champion and the current world number one.
A match that he will remember for the rest of his life.
This is an incredible forehand.
Too much whip up the back of the ball.
A bit of a lasso of a follow-through.
That's a perfect combination from Ferrero.
Carlos Ferrero has wrapped up the opening set.
Such a brilliant hustle from Ferrero.
Just showing the importance of never giving up, just getting the extra ball back.
And somehow managed to manufacture a beautiful angle cross-court.
Good tennis that I've ever seen on Carlos Ferrero's play.
Just on clay in his last 105 outings.
The first time he's ever lost in the Italian capital.
What a performance.
And he knows it.
Top draw stuff.
And I'm sure this must feel almost as good as winning the 2001 French Open.
Because this is one of the biggest wins of his career.
Just too good.
He just refuses to move off that baseline.
He takes it on the half ball, he takes it early.
And this is why he's able to run his opponents from side to side like this.
Look at him, he's on the baseline.
Who said that kindness can't volley?
There's only about three times that he comes to the net and that was one of them.
The other two are when he shakes hands with Ferrero at the beginning and at the end of the match.
Well this time he takes that ball.
He's got him.
Wonderful play from Guillermo Cañas.
And he gets the break of serve here early in the first set against the world number one.
Thank you very much.
That is a serious amount of racket hit speed to hit that shot.
Federer, 5-4.
And he's done it.
So after Federer had two set points in the previous game, it will now be Guillermo Cañas.
Serving to take this opening set.
He's done it.
Remarkable serve up the middle and then going right up the center of the court.
As he knew Federer had to choose one side.
And maybe an upset in the making as Guillermo Cañas taking the opening set against Roger Federer.
Seven games to five.
So just after barely an hour and ten minutes on the court.
It's Cañas with a set and a break.
Sublime.
Got him.
Federer not able to change direction.
And now it's Guillermo Cañas with a big advantage.
That'll do it.
Guillermo Cañas was perhaps the biggest win of his career.
And certainly the biggest upset.
He ends Federer's 41 match winning streak here in the desert.
After being suspended and out of the game for 18 months.
Cañas has returned to the ATP Tour in major force.
That's brilliant from both players.
He's got it.
And it's Luka Nardi who breaks first.
Well he dug himself out of a bit of a hole there Djokovic.
Well is there an enormous upset brewing?
What an angle.
Well we were expecting some kind of response from Novak Djokovic after the first set.
We got it to a certain extent.
You still wouldn't say he's anywhere near his best.
Absolutely colossal from Nardi.
Luka Nardi two games away.
An upset of monumental proportion.
Out here on Stadium One.
The lucky loser, Luka Nardi.
Beats his idol, Novak Djokovic.
The five time champion here.
That's got to be the longest rally of the tournament.
A lung buster.
And Coric displaying wonderful defensive skills.
He outlasted the great Spaniard.
He's done it.
Borna Coric marches on in Basel.
He has outplayed Rafael Nadal in all departments.
And thoroughly merits.
Backing that opening set in style. 6-2.
Went the wrong way.
The first set and once again.
The teenager Coric who has the last words.
But what produced there.
Borna Coric has done it.
It's a sensational victory for the teenager.
To take out Ernest Gorbis, world number 13.
And Andre Golubev is one thing.
To down the great Rafael Nadal is quite another.
A wonderful display.
Coric stuns the Spaniard.
In straight sets. 6-2. 7-6.
Well played. Smartly to it.
Clean as a whistle.
What a start this is for Lorenzo Sonico.
Oh wonderful.
Stunning from Sonico.
Possibly the best half hour of his entire tennis career.
A double break.
Against the world number one.
Not good enough Novak.
Gobbled up by Sonico.
He's done it.
Brilliant passing shot from the Italian.
He is in dreamland here.
Oh he's made it.
He's all over the place.
And they love it.
Brilliant, brilliant tennis from Sonico.
And if ever there was a point that summed up the match.
That was it right there.
The Italian passion.
The desire.
Far too good for Djokovic.
He's the one who wants this.
He's done it.
Sonico is simply stunning in Vienna.
The match of his life.
The result of his life.
And they'll be dancing in the streets of Turin tonight.
If they're allowed to.
Italian.
Problem this opening set.
I like that tactic.
Federer is not the quickest in the world.
Moving up the court.
It's a terrific response from Volandrup.
The best sets of tennis he has ever played.
Especially considering the circumstances.
Wrapping up the opening set in 41 minutes.
Big hustle by Volandrup.
And Federer.
Nicely done.
Anticipated the fact that Federer was going to attempt to pass him.
The cross court forehand.
He's done it.
The match of his life.
Upset here.
But I'm sure Volandrup can't quite believe the ease of the victory.
Plenty for the Italians to cheer.
But one of the worst performances.
World number one.
That won't stop Volandrup celebrating.
A bitterly disappointed Federer I'm sure.
