Alcaraz Reacts to Djokovic’s Surprise US Open First-Round Exit

Carlos Alcaraz says Novak Djokovic’s reported first-round exit at the US Open was a major surprise. After beating Roman Safiullin in his opening match at Flushing Meadows, Alcaraz said he watched the deciding set of Djokovic’s defeat to Mariano Navone. He noted that it is unusual to see a player of Djokovic’s stature leave a Grand Slam so early. Alcaraz added that every Grand Slam match demands total focus from the first point to the last. Despite the potential impact on his side of the draw, he said he is concentrating on his recovery and his next opponent rather than looking ahead to the semi-finals.
