For nearly two decades, Novak Djokovic has been a permanent fixture in the later stages of the US Open, a man for whom early rounds were mere formalities. On this late August day in New York, that certainty dissolved — he became the first version of himself to fall in the opening round of a Grand Slam he has long treated as familiar ground. The loss does not merely mark a defeat; it marks a threshold, the kind of moment that separates what a champion was from what he may yet become.
