Hyeon Chung Beats Novak Djokovic at Australian Open


It was a result that nobody expected.

No one would have thought the 21 year old South Korean player will win ‘the’ Novak Djokovic (World Ranking #14), who has already won 6 times at the Australian Open.

Hyeon Chung (World Ranking #58) beat Novak Djokovic, and he will be the first Korean player to play in the quarter-finals.


On the same day of the play, the official website of the Australian Open wrote ‘Match Point: Hyeong Chung stuns Novak Djokovic’. They also wrote, “Hyeon Chung becomes the first Korean play in history to progress to the quarterfinal of a Grand Slam.”

Also, they said, “Chung beat Novak, who was his childhood idol.”

Reuters also described the play as, “it was like Chung was drawing in every shot of Novak.”
