NGNovak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis star, suffered an early exit from the US Open in the first round, losing to 48th-ranked Argentine Mariano Navone in a grueling five-set match. This marked Djokovic's earliest Grand Slam defeat in 20 years and ended his streak of 78 consecutive Grand Slam first-round wins, which had begun in 2006. Djokovic struggled throughout the match, experiencing severe physical issues including vomiting and cramps, which affected his performance significantly. Despite moments where he regained control, such as breaking Navone's serve in the fourth set, Navone ultimately prevailed by winning the next five games and forcing the match into a fifth set. Djokovic took a medical timeout during the final set but could not recover, with Navone securing the victory decisively.
