Outcome reported
- Mariano Navone defeated Novak Djokovic in four sets in the first round of the US Open.
- Djokovic appeared unwell and fatigued during the match, which ended 7-6(5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-1.
- The 39-year-old Serbian suffered his earliest exit at the US Open and his earliest departure from a major tournament since 2006.
Mariano Navone produced the first major upset of this US Open by sending Novak Djokovic out in the opening round.
The Serbian, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, appeared unwell from the early stages of the match. He looked increasingly fatigued as the contest progressed, with vomiting reported during the match.
Djokovic recovered after losing the opening set and took the next two, but his physical condition deteriorated in the final stages. Navone won 7-6(5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-1.
The defeat ended Djokovic’s tournament immediately and removed one of the event’s biggest attractions. He had never previously exited the US Open so early. His last similarly premature departure from a major tournament came at the Australian Open in 2005 or 2006.
