Betrayed by his body and brought to tears, Novak Djokovic’s run at this U.S. Open is done before it got started.

The Greatest of All Time knocked out by Father Time.

And by Argentine Mariano Navone, who won 7-6 (5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 in a 4-hour, 36-minute marathon. Djokovic waved to the fans as they cheered, and made a heart symbol as he left Arthur Ashe Stadium. Will it be for the last time?
