Mariano Navone eliminates Novak Djokovic in US Open first round

Novak Djokovic exited the US Open in the first round after a five-set loss to Mariano Navone on Monday night. The final score was 7-6, 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1. The loss marks the first time in 20 years that Djokovic has been eliminated in the opening round of a Grand Slam tournament. During the match, Djokovic appeared physically distressed and received medical attention, citing a recurring health condition that remains unspecified. This result snaps a 77-match first-round winning streak at majors, which stood as the longest in the Open Era. With this exit, no members of the group historically known as the Big Three remain in the second round of the tournament, a scenario that has not occurred at a major since 2003.
