Novak Djokovic experienced his earliest Grand Slam exit in twenty years. He lost to Mariano Navone in a grueling five-set match. Djokovic struggled physically throughout the contest and appeared distressed. Navone capitalized on Djokovic's declining condition for a career-defining victory. This surprising defeat opens up the US Open draw significantly.

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