Djokovic wins again easily at US Open

Through the first two rounds, Djokovic lost a total of 11 games. Before the Spanish opponent Zapata Miralles, the 23 Grand Slam owner only had a little difficulty at the beginning of the first and third sets. Nole saved all six break points in the whole match and took advantage of six out of 11 chances to win the game to catch the ball, to close the match after two hours.

Nole's almost perfect performances in the first two rounds caused him to receive special questions from reporters after the match. "At 36 years old, I will win easily after three sets," the Serbian tennis player replied when asked about the results between his confrontation now and the Nole version 10 years ago. "I didn't want to fight myself, but I did. Every match I had to fight with my inner mind. If I win that fight, I win the real fight."

Djokovic also said that the current version is better than 10 years ago in terms of experience, decision-making ability at critical moments as well as energy savings. In the third round, Nole will meet compatriot Laslo Djere. Seed number 32 is in good form, just easily defeated Hugo Gaston 6-1, 6-2, 6-3.

While Nole played well in the first two rounds, many seeds in his bracket were eliminated early. Seventh seed Stefanos Tsitsipas unexpectedly lost to world number 28 Dominic Stricker 5-7, 7-6(2), 7-6(5), 6-7(8), 3-6 in the second round. Previously, fourth seed Holger Rune, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Lorenzo Musetti all stopped in their opening match.

In the women's singles event, the champion candidates all move on. Number one seed Iga Swiatek beat Daria Saville 6-3, 6-4, while Coco Gauff eliminated 16-year-old prodigy Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 6-2 in the second round. Roland Garros 2023 runner-up, Karolina Muchova also won Magdalena Frech 6-3, 6-3, while 18th seed Victoria Azarenka lost to Chinese player Zhu Lin 3-6, 3-6.
