The US Open Just Got Crazier

The first round of the US Open 2026 is done and it was carnage. The greatest player of all time lost in the first round one for the first time in twenty years. The Cincinnati champion collapsed from a set and a break up. And a legend got his farewell, with a bagel attached. This is the full story of the first three days. Novak Djokovic went out to Mariona Navone in four and a half hours, cramping, vomiting and fighting back tears, and we talk about what comes next four him. Carlos Alcaraz returned from four months out and handled Safiullin like he never left. Arthur Fils was showboating at a set and 5-2 up against Stefanos Tsitsipas, then lost twelve of the next fifteen games to a man he'd never lost to. We also cover Stan Wawrinka's goodbye ten years after winning his title, Gael Monfils serving up a bagel on his 40th birthday. Flavio Cobolli's toilet break comeback from two sets down, Learner Tien finally breaking his first round curse, Frances Tiafoe surviving a scare under the roof, and Emma Navarro winning while Lois Boisson destroyed two rackets behind her. For the first time in 23 years, a Grand Slam second round has no Djokovic, Federer or Nadal in it. The same 23 years America has been waiting for a men's champion. One streak just ended. The other one might be next. Want To Help Support The Channel?:    / @a.c.e.v.x
