US Open Tennis 2026 Results, Day 1 Bracket Winners, Losers, Highlights and Day 2 Schedule

The last time Novak Djokovic lost in the first round of a Grand Slam?

LeBron James had yet to make an NBA playoff appearance, Aaron Rodgers had not started an NFL game, and Rafael Nadal owned just one Grand Slam title.

On Sunday, the 24-time major champion was eliminated by Mariano Navone in five sets, marking his first opening round loss at a major since the 2006 Australian Open.

Djokovic has now gone 12 straight majors without a title, matching the longest such stretch of his career.

In the women's draw, No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula secured a win over Elena Gabriela Ruse.

Novak Djokovic's Open Era record of 78 consecutive first-round wins at Grand Slam tournaments came to a stunning end on Sunday.

In his Arthur Ashe stadium debut, Mariano Navone upset the 39-year-old Serbian in five sets, postponing Djokovic's pursuit of a record-breaking 25th major title until 2027.

Djokovic looked in control early but began to struggle with illness, ultimately dropping a tight first-set tiebreaker.

Though he continued to battle fitness issues in the second set, Djokovic relied on his trademark defense to level the match.

He carried that momentum into the third set, once again using his grit and defensive skills to take the lead, even as he vomited for the second time in the match.

However, cramps soon followed, and the 39-year-old lacked the stamina to keep pace with the fresher Navone.

In the fourth set, Navone's superior fitness and form proved to be the decisive factors.

In the fifth set, Navone was in complete control, as Djokovic managed to win just one game.

Djokovic's loss opens up an opportunity for several players in a tournament that is already without Jannik Sinner and a less-than-100-percent Carlos Alcaraz.

Match of the Day: Ben Shelton (8) vs. Tallon Griekspoor

Ben Shelton enters the US Open with brimming confidence aside from having the home crowd behind him.

The 23-year-old won the Montreal Open in dominant fashion, without dropping a set.

Despite entering the US Open on the heels of a shocking straight-set loss against Jaime Faria, Shelton looks poised for a deep run in New York.

The 2023 US Open semifinalist faces a tough match in Tallon Griekspoor, who is an extremely capable opponent, especially from the baseline.

However, Shelton's current form, combined with Griekspoor's struggles against top 10 players in majors, should pave the way for a win.

Prediction: No. 8 Ben Shelton def. Tallon Griekspoor in 4 sets

No. 3 Jessica Pegula def. Elena-Gabriela Ruse, 6-3, 6-2

No. 9 Elina Svitolina def. Solana Sierra, 6-1, 6-2

No. 11 Marta Kostyuk def. Storm Hunter, 6-4, 6-1

No. 18 Ekaterina Alexandrova def. McCartney Kessler, 6-2, 6-2

No. 19 Jasmine Paolini def. Veronika Erjavec, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4

Kamilla Rakhimova def. No. 27 Barbora Krejcikova, 7-6 (4), 6-2

No. 31 Leylah Fernandez def. Zhang Shuai, 6-3, 6-2

Taylah Preston def. Alycia Parks, 6-3, 6-3

Polina Iatcenko def. Renata Zarazua, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7)

Donna Vekic def. Talia Gibson, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3

Jessica Pegula began her quest for a maiden major title with a dominant straight-set win over Elena-Gabriela Ruse.

The top-ranked American played a relentless return game early, generating 14 breakpoint opportunities alone in the first set.

Pegula was dominant on serve s and hit 26 winners to just 14 unforced errors in an all-around impressive showing.

Maja Chwlalinska (20) vs. Taylor Townsend

Amanda Anisimova (10) vs. Ashlyn Krueger

Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs. Katerina Siniakova

Naomi Osaka (13) vs. Anastasia Zakharova

Match of the Day: Maja Chwalinska (20) vs. Taylor Townsend

Maja Chwalinska has won just one match since breaking through to the 2026 French Open final in one of the most incredible Cinderella runs ever.

The 24-year-old will face a significant challenge in first-round opponent Taylor Townsend, who equips a heavy serve and baseline power.

If Chwalinska can find the signature defense that helped her get to the French Open final, Townsend might be in store for a long day.

Prediction: No. 20 Maja Chwalinska def. Taylor Townsend in 3 sets
