39岁的诺瓦克·德约科维奇在美国网球公开赛首轮以7-6(5)、5-7、4-6、6-2、6-1负于阿根廷选手马里亚诺·纳沃内1。这是他自2006年澳大利亚网球公开赛以来最早的大满贯赛事出局，也是他首次在美网首轮落败1。
德约科维奇在比赛中的状态令人担忧：他至少呕吐一次、经历肌肉抽筋、接受医疗暂停，并制造了70个非受迫失误，比赛接近午夜才结束1。更为严峻的是，他已连续三年未获得大满贯冠军，上一次夺冠是在2023年美国网球公开赛1。这与他迄今24次大满贯单打冠军的纪录形成鲜明对比。
赛后德约科维奇表示："我整年都在经历呕吐、严重问题"，但同时声称"我感觉当我健康时，我仍然能够作为前五选手竞争"1。他全年持续受到肩伤、热浪和身体疼痛等问题困扰1。
德约科维奇目前面临的困境引发了对职业生涯延续性的疑问。费德勒于2022年在41岁时退役，纳达尔于2024年在38岁时退役，两人分别获得20次和22次大满贯单打冠军1。
Novak Djokovic's bid for a 25th Grand Slam title ended in disappointing fashion at the US Open, where the 39-year-old Serbian player fell to Argentina's Mariano Navone 7-6(5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 in the first round 1. The loss represents his earliest exit from a major tournament in two decades, dating back to the 2006 Australian Open, and marks his first-ever first-round elimination at the US Open 1. More significantly, Djokovic has now gone three consecutive years without capturing a Grand Slam title, with his last major victory coming at the 2023 US Open 1.
The match itself was marked by visible physical struggles for Djokovic, who vomited at least once during play, experienced cramping, and required medical attention 1. He accumulated 70 unforced errors as the contest stretched close to midnight 1. After the loss, Djokovic acknowledged the toll these health issues have taken, stating: "I've been dealing with vomiting, serious problems all year" 1. He added: "I feel when I'm healthy, I'm still able to compete as a top-five player" 1.
The decline stands in contrast to his peers' transitions. Roger Federer retired in 2022 at age 41 with 20 Grand Slam titles, while Rafael Nadal stepped away in 2024 at age 38 with 22 majors 1. Djokovic's 24 Grand Slam singles titles remain his career-defining achievement, but questions now surround whether he can return to competitive form or continue his career 1.
