Novak Djokovic grinded through physical and internal ailments, made one mistake after another and could not find what it took to beat a feisty, younger opponent who was not intimidated under the lights against tennis’ most decorated player

The 39-year-old Djokovic hadn’t lost in the first round of a major since early in his career, in 2006.

Novak Djokovic verliest in vijf sets van de ongeplaatste Mariano Navone. De Serviër oogt niet fit en verliest voor het eerst in de eerste ronde in New York.
