Novak Djokovic was as surprised as anyone by the way he played in the French Open’s third round.

“I cannot allow myself to have such a bad performance as I had today,” he said. “I cannot allow myself to be that defensive. This is not me. This is not my game.”

The fourth-seeded Djokovic was a semifinalist each of the past two years at Roland Garros, but he bowed out far earlier this time, losing to No. 29 Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday.
