Al Jazeera1 min read109 words
Novak Djokovic was eliminated in his opening match at the Cincinnati Open on Saturday, marking his first competition since exiting Wimbledon. The Serbian star appeared to struggle with the extreme heat that enveloped the Lindner Family Tennis Center, a factor that hampered his usual level of play and contributed to a series of unforced errors that proved costly against his opponent.
The loss ends Djokovic’s brief post‑Wimbledon campaign and raises questions about his preparation ahead of the upcoming US Open. While the defeat was a setback, the result also highlights the demanding conditions that players must navigate as the summer swing moves deeper into the North American hard‑court season.
