Carlos broke Djokovic's 15-match winning run in major tie-breaks, which he had been on. Djokovic had won 15 breaks in a row at majors before his 6-1, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-0 second-round triumph over Enzo Couacaud at the Australian Open this year. It was the second-longest tie-break winning run for a player in the Open Era.
