Why is Djokovic's loss so big?

Novak Djokovic is one of tennis's 'Big Three' alongside Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, known for their dominance over the past two decades. His defeat in the first round of a Grand Slam is highly unusual, marking his earliest exit in 20 years. This highlights the physical toll the sport can take, especially when battling health issues in challenging conditions.
