Laver 'saddened' by Djokovic's early exit

Rod Laver said on Sunday he was saddened by Novak Djokovic's failure to break his 47-year long Grand Slam record.

World No 1 Djokovic went down to a stunning defeat to No 47-ranked Sam Querrey of the US in the third round at Wimbledon on Saturday in what was his earliest exit at a major in seven years.

The loss also meant that Laver remains the last man to sweep the calendar grand slam, in 1969.
