Novak Djokovic hinted an injury hampered him in his third-round elimination on Saturday at Wimbledon by Sam Querrey.

Djokovic, top seed and defending champion, came into the year's third major tennis tournament with dreams of a calendar Grand Slam. But after losing two sets before Friday's rain delay, Djokovic lost 7-6 (8-6), 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5) to Querrey, the tournament's 28th seed.

Indeed, Djokovic looked out of sorts on Friday. He won the first four games upon play's resumption, further delays proved an advantage for Querrey.

Was Djokovic 100 percent?

"Not really," he told media members.
