Novak Djokovic Wins in Straight Sets to Reach the US Open Quarterfinals. He Faces Taylor Fritz Next
U.S. News & World Report Novak Djokovic did not encounter any of the sort of trouble he did in his previous match, eliminating qualifier Borna Gojo 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 on Sunday night to reach the U.S. Open quarterfinals.
Djokovic who has won three of his men's record 23 Grand Slam titles at Flushing Meadows needed to come back from a two-set deficit in the third round before eventually winning in five against Laslo Djere.
This time, Djokovic played far more cleanly and was in control throughout. He finished with only 12 unforced errors, while Gojo made 40.
Just glad to get through in straight sets, said the second-seeded Djokovic, who already is assured of replacing Carlos Alcaraz at No. 1 in the ATP rankings next week.
Djokovic won five of the big-serving Gojo's 15 service games while only getting broken once himself.
