Novak Djokovic upset by Mariano Navone, out in US Open 1st round

Djokovic losing in the first round at the US Open feels like it might be the end of an era. He hadn't lost in the first round of a Grand Slam in 20 years (!!!)

Mariano Navone wins 7⁷-6⁵, 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 against Novak Djokovic The last 45-50 minutes were kinda sad in a way, Djokovic's body went out on him and its clear to me his best shot at 25 has already passed. Novak's longevity has been unprecedented and he leaves the court to cheers.

Novak Djokovic loses in the U.S. Open first round for the first time, falling in five sets to Mariano Navone. It was the longest opening match of a Grand Slam in Djokovic’s career.

This is the first time that we haven’t seen Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, or Rafa Nadal in the 2nd round of a Grand Slam since 2003. 23 years. The greatest era of men’s tennis is fading. 💔

i generally can't watch djokovic matches anymore bc i can't stand him and the commentators always act like you might as well not hold the match bc he's obviously gonna win, so opening up my us open app and finding out djokovic lost his first round match is a goddamn delight

39-year-old Novak Djokovic, who had made it to the semifinals or better at six of the last seven majors, crashes out of the first round of the #USOpen for the very first time in his career. Mariano Navone prevails 7-6(5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 in just over four and a half hours.

Down goes Djokovic. Credit Navone who had to watch all the Djokovic drama and remain focused.

Novak Djokovic grinded through physical and internal ailments, made one mistake after another and could not find what it took to beat a feisty, younger opponent who was not intimidated under the lights against tennis' most decorated player. https://cnn.it/4i3cndt

Father time is undefeated. And Novak Djokovic loses in the US Open first round for the time.

1 - With victory over Novak Djokovic, Mariano Navone has now: ✅ become the first player to defeat Djokovic in the R128 at the US Open ✅ become the first to defeat Djokovic in the R128 at a Grand Slam since Paul Goldstein (AO 2006). ✅ claimed a first ATP top 10 win at Grand Slams Firsts. #USOpen

Me and the wife screaming at Navone to put Djokovic out of our misery. #USOpen26

ESPN shows and explains how Novak Djokovic has been using an inhaler, taking tablets, etc. James Blake: "Think about how much fluids he's lost." Chris Fowler: "I don't want to think about that."

Djokovic drops the first set of the US Open for the first time in 20 years. You can stare at water all you want. It won't stop you from aging.

If I'm Mariano Navone, I'm bouncing and jumping and and looking like a 15-year-old (which he does anyway). Have to show Djokovic that you're ready for a track meet in the 5th set. #USOpen

I’m over Djokovic playing. I hope Navone wins this match
