Serbian Novak Djokovic was eliminated in the first round of the US Open by Argentine Mariano Navone. The defeat came after an intense five-set match that lasted 4 hours and 36 minutes.
This elimination represents a historic low point for Djokovic, as it marks the first time the player has fallen so early in a Grand Slam tournament since 2006. The Serbian tennis player, who is one of the greatest champions in tennis history, had not faced such an early exit at a major in nearly two decades.
Mariano Navone, the Argentine opponent responsible for the upset, managed to defeat one of the most decorated players on the professional tennis circuit. The young South American player took the opportunity to achieve one of the most significant victories of his career.
