The ongoing United Cup has undoubtedly piqued the interest of the tennis world. In a blockbuster matchup, Alex de Minaur recently stunned everyone by outclassing Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. Prior to his recent defeat, the 24-time singles Grand Slam champion was undefeated on Australian soil for an extraordinary period of six years.
In the process of ending Djokovic’s phenomenal match-winning streak, the Australian tennis player has also pulled off a ‘Roger Federer‘ to stamp the ’43’ curse on the Serbian tennis great.

Just like De Minaur, the Swiss maestro Roger Federer also ended Djokovic’s 43-match win streak back in 2011. The Serb’s phenomenal winning run on the men’s tour came to an end in the semifinals of the 2011 French Open, where his former Swiss colleague finally managed to beat him.
