Almas compungidas en la Arthur Ashe de Nueva York, donde ahí abajo, una leyenda sufre, deambula, vomita, llora, se diluye y, finalmente, pierde. Desgarradora la imagen. Novak Djokovic cae en la primera ronda entre sollozos, superado por el argentino Mariano Navone (7-6(5), 5-7, 4-6 y 6-1), por su propio físico y por las circunstancias. Vuela el tiempo, cada vez le pesan más los años (39) y a pesar de su eterna rebeldía, de quererlo siempre, de estar todavía ahí y de intentarlo una vez más, al serbio se le van agotando las balas y las fuerzas. Se marcha Nole fundido, superado y durante el tramo final de la noche, completamente a merced del rival. Son 4h 25m de calvario para él, el hombre que de todas escapaba. Verlo para creerlo.
