World Sports · 19:38:45 - Friday, 30 October 2026

Novak Djokovic was eliminated in the round of 16 at the Swiss Indoors tournament in Basel on Thursday, losing to Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff. The defeat leaves the Serbian star one career title short of Roger Federer's all-time record.

Djokovic, playing in Federer's hometown, was unable to overcome Struff in their match at St. Jakobshalle. The loss halts Djokovic's pursuit of a 104th career title, which would tie Federer's mark.

In another match, Swiss wildcard Jerome Kym faced American Ben Shelton on the same day.
