\"Poraz<\/p>\n

Top seed and three-time former champion Novak Djokovic suffered a 6-2, 6-2 defeat to 13th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the third round of the 2014 Rogers Cup<\/a> on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Novak was broken twice in each set, and failed to convert the only break point he earned during the 63-minute encounter.<\/p>\n

It is the sixth win for the Frenchman in their 19 career meetings, the first since the 2010 Australian Open.<\/p>\n

“Congratulations to Jo,”<\/strong> Djokovic said following the match. “He played some great tennis, served very well. He was obviously the better player on the court. I hadn’t played even close to what I intended before going to the court. Just nothing was going. No baseline, no serve, no return. Generally a very bad day, very poor performance. Couldn’t do much.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Match statistics<\/span>: aces (2-8), double faults (1-2), winners (11-23), unforced errors (18-13).<\/p>\n

Novak is heading to Cincinnati, where he will play at the Western & Southern Open<\/a> (10-17 August), the only Masters 1000 event he still hasn\u2019t won.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He will attempt to complete a sweep of the ATP Masters 1000 tournaments and become the first singles player to win all of the ATP World Tour\u2019s nine premier events.<\/p>\n

Nole won 180 ATP points last year by reaching quarter-finals (l. to John Isner 6-7, 6-3, 5-7).<\/p>\n
