Novak Djokovic loses US Open first-round match
Novak Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, lost in five sets to Argentina's Mariano Navone in the US Open first round, his first opening-round exit in 20 years. The four-hour match visibly taxed his body and Djokovic said ongoing physical issues have affected him in every match this year, with little resistance in the fourth and fifth sets. The defeat continues a three-year run without a major since his 2023 US Open win, raises concerns about his durability against younger rivals, and precedes his expected entry at the Shanghai Masters in October.
