Novak Djokovic opens bid for record 25th Grand Slam with easy win
Associated Press
Aug 27, 2024, 10:01 AM
NEW YORK -- Novak Djokovic began his bid for a record 25th Grand Slam title and tied Roger Federer with his 89th match win at the U.S. Open by defeating qualifier Radu Albot of Moldova 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 on Monday night. The second-seeded Djokovic, again wearing a gray sleeve over his surgically repaired right knee, was competing for the first time since claiming an Olympic gold medal three weeks ago at the Paris Games, the last significant achievement that was missing from his resume. "It's always challenging to start, particularly when you haven't played on this surface for five, six months, and coming off an Olympic gold and playing on clay. I haven't had any official matches before the U.S. Open. So I'm expecting to be probably challenged a little bit more in the opening rounds," he said. I hope I can play better every day."

He said his knee, which underwent surgery in early June, is doing well. Djokovic, a 37-year-old from Serbia, improved to 18-0 in the opening matches at Flushing Meadows and now has an 89-13 record in senior tennis, which won four times, including last year. He had never lost before the third round of the US Open. Albat has yet to make it past the third round in 30 major league games. The retired Federer was 89-14 in New York with five titles from 2004 to 2008. Among the men, only Jamie Connors, who won 98-17, won more matches than Djokovic and Federer. Djokovic has never lost a Grand Slam to anyone ranked below 138 Albat. And Albat is now 0-12 against opponents ranked 10. Next for Djokovic is a famous friend, opponent and friend Laslo Djere, who went 6-7 (7), 6-1, 6-7 (6-7). 7), 6-4, 6-2 win over Yann-Lenard Straff. A year ago, Djokovic met Jer in the third round of the US Open. Jharre took the first two sets until Djokovic took the court in five sets. "It's a third round for one of the boys from Serbia. I hope it's me. But Ibar is a very good person to play on a big stage. I think he likes the conditions here. It's faster." The ball drops. He has a very smooth backhand and a very good action, good return. Djokovic said: "He is as physically fit as anyone. I really remember our match. It was a very difficult match. I will try to analyze and hopefully I will do some better things next year."
