Novak Djokovic is hailing Alexei Popyrin as a legitimate US Open title contender after the audacious Australian rocked the Serbian superstar’s grand slam dreams in New York. Djokovic rued “some of the worst tennis I have ever played” after coughing up 14 double-faults in his 6-4 6-4 2-6 6-4 third-round loss to Popyrin on Friday night .
Popyrin stuns Djokovic at US Open. “Honestly, serving by far the worst ever,” he said. But the 24-times grand slam champion cast aside the disappointment of being unable to continue his quest for an unprecedented 25th major to lable Popyrin as a potential US Open winner. “Look, he’s just beaten me, the defending champion here,” Djokovic said when pressed by AAP about Popyrin’s prospects. “So he deserves credit for that and respect. If he serves well, plays well, he can beat anybody.
