Novak Djokovic says he is dealing with a health condition that has troubled him for “the past couple of years” after he loses to Thiago Agustín Tirante in the second round of the Cincinnati Open. During the match, multiple reports describe Djokovic struggling with stamina in hot and humid conditions, including moments where he appeared to fall to his knees and vomit while receiving assistance.
The sources agree on the outcome and the general nature of Djokovic’s comments: an ongoing issue is aggravated by heat and humidity. CBS and NBC focus on his post-match explanation that the problem has been present for years and is worsened by weather. Other outlets also mention the vomiting incident and describe it as a factor that overshadowed the defeat, while still tying it to his remarks about the condition. There is no detailed medical diagnosis across the reports; Djokovic refers to the problem broadly as an ongoing health issue.
All outlets also identify the opponent and match context. Djokovic’s Cincinnati campaign ends after the straight-set loss (6-2, 4-6, 4-6) to Tirante, who advances to the next round.
