It was a bewildering result for the 29-year-old, who had won the last four majors and achieved the quarter-finals of each of the past 28 Grand Slams.
However as opposed to lead a discouraging after death of his first thrashing in 31 Grand Slam matches, Djokovic did his best to emphasize the positives of his unbelievable run, guaranteeing he would have returned to his best in time for the Olympics and afterward the US Open in August.

“I’m not happy to lose a match. But I’m going to move on from this hopefully as a stronger player.”
Djokovic confronted a flood of inquiries concerning his abnormally dormant exertion against Querrey and he implied he had been experiencing mental and physical weariness taking after the French Open.
Having beaten Andy Murray in Paris to win the last significant title missing from his trophy bureau, Djokovic surrendered the satisfaction of a long-held aspiration had made it harder to inspire himself at Wimbledon.
“It’s an amazing feeling to be able to hold four Grand Slams at the same time. But coming into Wimbledon, I knew that mentally it’s not going to be easy to kind of remotivate myself,” he said.
“The importance of this tournament is so immense that you always find ways to try to give your best.
“Obviously my best wasn’t enough this year.”
