As he overcame a two-set deficit to defeat fellow Serb Laslo Djere and go to the US Open fourth round, Novak Djokovic avoided a major shock. With a 4-6 4-6 6-1 6-1 6-3 victory in New York, Djokovic, 36, kept up his pursuit of a record-tying 24th major title.
It is the eighth occasion in Djokovic’s career that he has rallied from a two-set deficit to triumph. In the round of 16, three-time US Open champion Novak Djokovic will face Croatian qualifier Borna Gojo in an effort to tie Margaret Court for the most major victories.
