Novak Djokovic has lost in the first round of a grand slam for the first time in 20 years.

In the first round of the Grand Slam tournament, Novak Djokovic suffered his first-ever loss in the opening round after 20 years, marking a significant moment in tennis history. The match took place at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York, where Argentine player Mariano Navone defeated Djokovic in a five-set thriller. This defeat was unexpected, especially considering Djokovic's status as a 24-time Grand Slam champion and his previous record of never losing in the first round since the 2006 Australian Open. Djokovic had faced health challenges in recent years, which reportedly affected his performance during this match. He admitted to considering retiring early during the match due to physical discomfort, including cramps, pain in his arm, and fatigue.
