Djokovic eliminated in US Open opener after five-set marathon by Navone

Novak Djokovic, a 39-year-old major champion, was upset in the US Open first round by Argentina’s Mariano Navone in a grueling five-set match that lasted 4 hours 36 minutes. Djokovic led early with 3-0 and 4-1 first-set leads but couldn’t close out, dropping the set in a tiebreak and then losing 7-6(5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1. He appeared hampered by illness, vomiting and cramping, receiving medical attention and medication as Navone secured his first major scalp on tennis’s biggest stage. It marked Djokovic’s earliest Grand Slam exit since 2006 and the longest opening-round match of his career, leaving questions about his health and future in majors; Navone called it a dream come true.
