00:00Betrayed by his body and brought to tears, Novak Djokovic lost in the first round of a Grand Slam for
00:06the first time in 20 years.
00:09At 39 years old, the greatest of all time was knocked out by Father Time, and his run at this
00:15year's U.S. Open is done before it all got started.
00:18Sunday night at Arthur Ashe, the number four seed and four-time champ here in Flushing went down to Mariano
00:25Navone in five sets.
00:27The match went for four hours and 36 minutes, which is the longest opening round match of Djokovic's career.
00:35Both fans and media could see that he wasn't right out there.
00:39He vomited on the court multiple times, dealt with cramping, and even had a medical timeout for his back before
00:47the fifth set.
00:48He was even seen popping pills between points just to finish the match.
00:52Now, this snaps a streak of 78 straight first-round wins at majors, which was a streak that started before
00:59some of you were even watching tennis.
01:02And for further context, he never lost before the third round here at the U.S. Open, ever.
01:08Djokovic himself said afterward it's something he's been battling most of this year, and that Sunday was just an awful
01:15feeling out there.
01:16This loss has the tennis world talking, and the question has been raised at 39 years old, is this the
01:23last U.S. Open we'll see Djokovic compete in?
