Nishikori taking down Djokovic in 2014 was a far bigger shock than Cilic beating Roger. In fact Nishikori Djokovic was probably the biggest grand slam upset on the mens side that year in 2014. Or 2nd biggest, Gulbis-Federer at FO 2014 was a big shock too.

nishikori against djokovic 2014? cilic got more chance of beating federer than nishikori beating djokovic.

Tsitsipas losing the first two sets 6-0, 6-1 is embarrassing.

[connorhickey]

Missed Samantha Stosur vs Serena Williams 2011 women's final. Stosur was playing in just her second grand slam final.

How is cilic over Federer in here but not nishikori over Djokovic from literally the same year

[Gilgarth]

i dont consider Del Potro - Federer an upset. they both reached the final for a reason.

[stephcurran]

Nishikori vs Djokovic should be here everyone remembers watching USO 14 that time thought it was gonna be Novak vs Roger that year

[danielepetrucci]

Fabio Fognini beating Rafa is not that big surprise.
In 2015 he had already beaten Nadal twice

Time to update this video. Popyrin took out Djokovic and van de Zandschulp took out Alcaraz this year, in 2024!

[wayneboyd]

I'm more impressed with those who beat the top players at their peak versus on the decline.

[jimgray]

Fognini defeating Nadal feels like the school bully beating up your dad.

[ivojanda]

Edberg’s loss in 1993 against Karel Novacek should have also been included, if there is any footage of it. Edberg was then the two-time defending champion.

nishikori against murray 2016? after french open murray had lost only two matches until the end of the year, one in cincinatti against cilic (right after olympic gold medal) and the other in NY against nishikori

[kajjones]

Us open definitely the oddest slam of them all.

[theaviator]

What about Pouille vs Nadal in 2014? That was the biggest upset since Federer losing at Wimbledon

[virat]

Tsitsipas? Really? If he ever wins anything that will be an upset.

[amadeushsu]

Technically speaking several of the matches Emma played that led to her 2021 title is considered upsets because she was a qualifier meeting several seeded players ...

[lishae]

serena vs vinci biggest upset for me, the only thing serena didn't have was a calendar grand slam

[tomnguyen]

You forgot the Tommy Robredo vs Ruger Federer match

[stevenstone]

Anyone who was watching tennis knows that Nadal's loss in 2022 wasn't a big upset at all. He was shaky his entire season after Wimbledon, he only entered the US Open because he did so well in the 3 other slams, but no one was expecting him to go far.
