The world number one tennis player could not come back to defeat Sam Querrey and accepted defeat with a score of 6-7, 1-6, 6-3, 6-7 despite playing hard.

Novak Djokovic celebrated his record 30th consecutive Grand Slam win with a second-round win over Adrian Mannarino. However, he was unable to overcome a 0-2 deficit and lost for the first time at a major since last year's Roland Garros final.

When the match resumed on the afternoon of July 2, Djokovic scored two consecutive break points to lead 4-0. However, the rain brought the match to a halt again. Djokovic won another game when both players returned to the court but Sam Querrey won three games in a row after that. However, the world number one made no mistake when he served in game nine and won the third set,

Djokovic missed three break points in the first game of the fourth set and let his opponent hold serve before the match was suspended due to rain. In the sixth game, Querrey had two break points but missed both. In the ninth game, Sam Querrey saved two break points with two aces but still let his opponent break his serve. However, despite leading 5-4 and holding serve, Djokovic could not seize the opportunity to level the match. He let Querrey break first in the fourth set and had to play a tie-break to decide the winner.

In this nerve-wracking match, Djokovic took the lead. He led 3-1 then 4-3. However, Sam Querrey equalized and led 6-4. Djokovic saved a point with an ace but eventually lost when his forehand went wide.

The defeat ended the Serbian's hopes of winning a Grand Slam year. Djokovic had already won the Australian Open and Roland Garros. He also failed to win a third consecutive Wimbledon title and become only the second man in history to win five consecutive Grand Slams.
