World number one Novak Djokovic was trying hard to take his shock loss at the ATP Indian Wells Masters in stride on Tuesday, but it wasn't easy.
"To be honest, I don't enjoy losing," Djokovic said after falling 6-4, 6-4 to 39th-ranked German Philipp Kohlschreiber in the third round.
Kohlschreiber notched his first ever victory over a number one-ranked player, ending Djokovic's bid for a sixth Indian Wells crown.
"Especially in a tournament like this, a tournament where I have had plenty of success in the past ..." Djokovic said. "But it just happens, one of those days."
"I'm going to try to go all the way here in doubles. I'm really excited about that."
