Italian Open: Six-time Italian Open champion Novak Djokovic was eliminated in three sets by world No. 79 Dario Prizmic, who came back from a set down to win 2-6, 6-2, 6-4.

It is the first time Djokovic has lost in his opening match in the Italian capital (18-1). Prizmic has now earned two Top 10 wins, having beaten Ben Shelton en route to the third round at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Madrid last month.

The 20-year-old is aiming to advance to the fourth round at this level for the first time and next plays Ugo Humbert.
