In a stunning twist at the U.S. Open, Novak Djokovic was knocked out by Alexei Popyrin! The defending champion made an early exit, leaving fans buzzing. Read on for all the drama!

In an unexpected turn of events at the U.S. Open, defending champion Novak Djokovic was dethroned in a breathtaking third-round match against 28th-seeded Alexei Popyrin from Australia. The fierce showdown concluded with a score of 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, marking an early exit for Djokovic and sending shockwaves through the tennis world. This result comes just a day after the tournament witnessed another jaw-dropping upset with world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz also falling victim to the pressure of Flushing Meadows.

Popyrin, who recently brought home the Montreal title, showcased his prowess on the court with remarkable confidence. After his stunning victory, he downplayed the surprise element, explaining to reporters, 'It’s not unbelievable; I’ve had my chances before, and today they just worked out for me.' His victory not only highlights his potential but also casts a shadow on Djokovic's season, marking the first time since 2017 that Djokovic will end a year without a Grand Slam title. Fans had plenty to discuss as Djokovic expressed disappointment, attributing his early exit to a lack of focus and energy throughout the match.

This shocking turn of events left Djokovic to ponder his performance, noting that he played 'some of the worst tennis' in recent memory. The competition continues to heat up at the U.S. Open as Popyrin advances to his first Grand Slam fourth round, signaling a bright future for the emerging tennis star. With Djokovic and Alcaraz both out of the picture, the tournament now opens up a path for new contenders to seize the spotlight and lay claim to the grand title.

As we witness this riveting chapter in U.S. Open history, it’s important to remember that Djokovic still holds a record 24 Grand Slam titles, making this loss a mere bump in his stellar career. Meanwhile, Popyrin, just 24, is an exciting young talent who previously trained under the watchful eye of tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt. The tennis community is buzzing with anticipation on how these changes will shape the remainder of the tournament!
