Toronto's Daniel Nestor and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus were upset their first-round men's doubles match with American wild-cards Steve Johnson and Jack Sock 1-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2.
The 39-year-old Nestor had not lost this early at Flushing Meadows since 2005, a year after lifting the title with former partner Mark Knowles.
Nestor and Mirnyi, the top-ranked team, converted on three of 15 break point chances in just under two hours while losing serve twice after a runaway win in the opening set.
"That's what happens when you let a team hang around for too long," said Nestor. "This should have been over in two sets.
"I just cannot explain how our level dropped so much and without any reason after that 6-1 first set. This is really hard to take, I can't explain it."
