CNN
One night after No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz was stunned by unseeded Botic van de Zandschulp in straight sets, No. 2 Novak Djokovic has been bounced by No. 28 seed Australian Alexei Popyrin in the third round at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
There’s been another massive upset at the US Open. One night after No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz was stunned by unseeded Botic van de Zandschulp in straight sets, No. 2 Novak Djokovic has been bounced by No. 28 seed Australian Alexei Popyrin in the third round at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Popyrin notches the biggest win of his career, 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. “I’ve been in the third round about 15 times in my career, but I haven’t been able to get past to the fourth round,” Popyrin said on the court. “And to be able to do it against the greatest of all time to get into the fourth round is unbelievable.” It’s been a strange year for Djokovic – for his standards, at least – not winning any grand slam titles in 2024. He ends a season without a major title for the first time since 2017. In fact, it’s the first year since 2002 that none of the members of men’s tennis “Big Three” – Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and the now-retired Roger Federer – won a grand slam.
