5 biggest upsets at the Miami Masters

Olivier Rochus beat Novak Djokovic, 1R 2010

Rochus, from Belgium did not expect the win – and could not believe it

Doubles Grand Slam winner Olivier Rochus was up against then No. 2 Novak Djokovic, who had already won the Miami Masters title before, in 2007. The Belgian had never broken the top 25 in the singles, but he was no stranger to giant-slaying, having beaten former top-ranked player Marat Safin at Wimbledon in 2002.

He played a good game against Novak Djokovic, whose tendency to commit unforced errors was at a high, with 62 in the nearly 3-hour match. Rochus, for his part, pulled off some stunning mini-comebacks in the course of the match, even from game and set point down.

A now characteristically cool Djokovic lost his temper on court, smashing his racquet in frustration as Rochus managed to win a game after being 0-40 down.

Djokovic may not have expected Rochus to win – but as turned out, neither did Rochus. After the match, the Belgian told reporters he “never expected to win,” and could not have anticipated beating someone of the caliber of the Serb.

The Serb had then come affrr as marginally arrogant, saying: “He [Rochus] was motivated to win against somebody who's better ranked, top player," said Djokovic, who won the Miami title in 2007. "He didn't have anything to lose."
