Rev3 And no man in Heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, and to loose the seals thereon,
rev4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and read the book, neither to look thereon

Keep in mind that at this point in the book, Jesus hadn't returned yet. So, nobody on Earth was able to open the book.
However, when Jesus did return, the books were opened because he did open them.

I agree with the above answers about there being no righteous man on the earth.
That would also mean that John himself was not worthy and that would make him personally sorrowful.
I also imagine that John was sad that the book would not be opened or read.

He wept for there was no redemption for man.The book of life was closed and sealed and no man could give account that was acceptable.This would mean that all men and all they were or would be must be destroyed utterly.

It is sad to know no righteous man exists on the entire earth.

He wept for the pitiful state of mankind. The fact that.. "No one is righteous, no not one"
