(AP Photo\/Frank Franklin II)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Novak Djokovic\u2019s first-round defeat at the 2026 US Open may have ended his campaign earlier than expected, but the match produced several significant records and milestones for both the Serbian great and his opponent Mariano Navone.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>The match marked Djokovic\u2019s 20th appearance at the US Open, making him only the fourth man in men\u2019s singles to reach the landmark. He joined Jimmy Connors, Andre Agassi and Feliciano Lopez in the exclusive group.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>\u201cI&#8217;m very proud of that,\u201d Djokovic said. \u201cObviously, longevity was always one of the goals when I was younger: trying to have long career, trying to have more shots at Grand Slam and stay healthy long enough so that I can perform for as many years as possible.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Djokovic has appeared at every US Open since making his debut in 2005, except in 2017 when a right elbow injury forced him to miss the tournament. He has won the title four times, in 2011, 2015, 2018 and 2023.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>His first US Open match, a five-set marathon against Gael Monfils, came two decades ago. Monfils, who is planning to retire, is also competing at this year\u2019s tournament.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>\u201cHere we are 20 years later,\u201d Djokovic said. \u201cWe&#8217;re both still grinding and representing the older generation.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>Records broken and made during this historic night<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>While Djokovic added another longevity record, his defeat to Navone brought one of his most remarkable Grand Slam streaks to an end. Navone stunned the 24-time major champion 7-6, 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 to record the biggest victory of his career.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The defeat snapped Djokovic\u2019s streak of 78 consecutive first-round wins at Grand Slam tournaments. It was his first opening-round loss at a major since the 2006 Australian Open, ending a run that had lasted nearly two decades.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>The four-hour, 36-minute battle also became the longest first-round match in a major tournament in Djokovic\u2019s professional career.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>For Navone, the victory was the biggest of his career.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>For Djokovic, it was a night of contrasting milestones, his 20th US Open appearance ended with his earliest exit from the tournament and the loss of one of his longest-standing Grand Slam streaks.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/tennis\/top-stories\/novak-djokovics-us-open-shocker-all-the-records-broken-during-his-first-round-exit\/articleshow\/133643040.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic, of Serbia, gestures to the crowd after he lost to Mariano Navone, of Argentina, during the first round of the U.S. Open tennis championships Sunday, Aug. 30, 2026, in New York.
