Novak Djokovic Falls Out of ATP Top 10 After US Open First-Round Defeat
Novak Djokovic dropped from fifth to twelfth in the latest ATP rankings following his first-round loss at the 2026 US Open to Mariano Navone. This marks the first time since October 2002 that none of the 'Big Three'—Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer—are in the top 10, with Federer and Nadal having retired in 2022 and 2024 respectively. Djokovic, 39, struggled physically during the match, citing vomiting and cramps, and acknowledged the difficulty of the season despite his past achievements.
