Late on Friday night, the defending US Open champion was toppled. Novak Djokovic, fresh off a gold medal win in Paris, fell to Alexei Popyrin in the third round of the tournament. Nobody was more disappointed than Djokovic himself, who gave a brutal evaluation of his own play to media after the massive upset. His third-round exit is tied for his earliest loss at the US Open.
""I have played some of the worst tennis I have ever played, honestly," Djokovic said, per ESPN. "Serving -- by far -- the worst ever."
