Yes we all thought we were looking at the next Nadal, or Djokovic or Roger Federer - but it seems we are not.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic was shocked at the U.S.
Open one night after Carlos Alcaraz was,
bowing out in the third round with a 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 loss
to 28th-seeded Alexei Popyrin of Australia on Friday night.

The No. 2-seeded Djokovic was trying to become the first player in tennis history with 25 Grand Slam singles titles.
Instead, after knee surgery in June,
he finishes a year without claiming at least one major championship
for the first time since 2017. Before that, it hadn’t happened since 2010.
