Djokovic stumbles in French Open’s 3rd round

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.
