Novak Djokovic Defeated After Five-Set Loss In Australian Open Second Round

Novak Djokovic is out of the Australian Open after being rocked by Uzbek Denis Istomin in five sets.

The defending champion was knocked out of the second round of the Australian Open on Thursday losing 7-6(8) 5-7 2-6 7-6(5) 6-4 at Rod Laver Arena.

It was six-times champion Djokovic’s earliest elimination from Melbourne Park since his first round exit in 2006.

No. 117-ranked Istomin, who dropped out of the top 100 last year, had never beaten a top 10 player at a Grand Slam tournament. His only previous win in 33 matches against a top 10 player was back in 2012 at Indian Wells, when he beat No. 5 David Ferrer.

“It is the biggest win for me. It means so much,” Istomin said. “Now I feel I can play with these guys, and to be with them on the same level.”

Gambian Offensive: Photos Of Deployed Nigerian Air Force Troops

Yesterday, troops from the Nigerian Army, Air force, and Navy departed for Senegal in preparation for a likely offensive on Gambia.

The troops are on a mission to make sure the mandate of the Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) stands in the West African country following the refusal of its president Yahya Jammeh to accept the result of the presidential elections held in December and hand over power to the victor, Adama Barrow.

Jammeh has refused to back down and instead got a three-month extension on his tenure by the country’s parliament.

Fighter jets, transport aircraft, Light Utility Helicopter as well as Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance aircraft have also been deployed to Dakar, capital of Senegal, where the offensive would be launched from if Jammeh still refuses to back down.

Below are the pictures:
