US Open 2024: Defending champion Novak Djokovic knocked out of third round

New York, 31/8: Novak Djokovic suffered a major upset at the hands of Alexei Popyrin with a 6-4 6-4 2-6 6-4 beating in the third round of the US Open on Friday to end the Serbian’s bid for a 25th Grand Slam title.

Defending champion Djokovic, who had to dig deep to win the Olympic gold medal earlier this month, looked sluggish against the energized Popyrin, who notched the biggest win of his career to reach the round of 16 of a major tournament for the first time.
