In 2020, Novak Djokovic played 24 competitive matches. No one has beaten it yet.
That Nola series continued at the start of the US Open, defeating Damir Dzumhur with 6: 1, 6: 4, 6: 1.
Although the final 3-0 seems like a perfectly played match, there were times when the Serbian ace was not at all satisfied with his game.
But thankfully, those were really, just moments.
“There was tension, definitely. On several occasions, that stress came out of me and I screamed. It’s like that with me. Even when the stadium is empty,” Nole said after the victory.
As he says himself, the second set could have led the set to the other side.
“I played against one of the fastest tennis players in the world. In those moments, I mean in the middle of the second section, the match could have turned in his favor. I am very happy that I managed to finish this set as I wanted, and then I raised the level of the game a bit … “
In the end, he raised that level enough to clinch victory in one hour and 58 minutes, in which he added 31 outright points, but also 29 unforced errors.
Perhaps the fact that the break was not exactly the best on the planet, that it was the only one in New York that had to go out to the field on Saturday (Cincinnati final) and Monday, is also “responsible” for that many errors.
“It also bothered me that I played the semi-finals on Friday, then the final on Saturday, but I still had 48 hours (to prepare) for this match. Not too long, but enough to recover. I felt good on the field.” One of the Grand Slam tournaments is that you know that you will play every other day, so you have one in between to get stronger. I will try to use it in the best possible way to gather energy and strength for the next challenge, “said Novak Djokovic.
And your next challenge is: Kyle Edmund.
The three-time US Open champion (2011, 2015, 2018) leads with 5: 1 against the Briton, who defeated Aleksandar Bublik at the start of the US Open with 2: 6, 7: 5, 7: 5, 6: 0.
