The US Open continues in the United States, and last night witnessed one of the most shocking upsets of the tournament: world number two and legendary tennis player Novak Djokovic lost to 28th-ranked Alexei Popyrin.

As a result, the Serbian tennis star will end this year without any Grand Slam titles.

Rafael Nadal, another member of the "Big Three," is still playing tennis, but his career is gradually winding down. The Spaniard participated in the Australian Open and Roland Garros this year, but exited both tournaments in the early rounds.

The third member of the "Big Three," Roger Federer, retired from professional tennis two years ago.

This means that, for the first time in many years, none of the "Big Three" have won a Grand Slam trophy this year. At the Australian Open, the title was claimed by Jannik Sinner, while Carlos Alcaraz emerged victorious at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

It’s worth noting that Djokovic did manage to secure one major title this year. For the first time in his career, the Serbian tennis player won the Olympic Games in Paris.
