The defeat of Novak Djokovic against Alexei Popyrin in the third round of the US Open 2024 has more history than just a simple result. The Serbian had not exited the New York Grand Slam this early since the 2006 season. In other words, it has been 18 years since Novak made it past, at least, the third round in Flushing Meadows.
Popyrin defeats Djokovic in 4 sets.

It’s the earliest exit from the US Open for Djokovic since 2006.
It’s also the first year since 2002 that Nadal, Federer or Djokovic did not win a Major title.
Unbelievable.
