After the scare against Djere, Novak Djokovic returns to Robot Nole, gets rid of the Croatian Borna Gojo and takes the ticket to the quarterfinals of the US Open, in which he will face the American number 1 Taylor Fritz. Nole will certainly have the public all in favor of his opponent, but this has often been a good thing during his legendary career. Against Gojo he ends up 6-2 7-5 6-4, in a match in which Djoker’s superiority is never in question.

THE RACE

—

It is clear that Novak wants to do everything quickly, after he had recovered two sets behind in the third round. With two breaks in his rival’s first three rounds of service, Djokovic easily wins the first set. Then comes an empty pass at the beginning of the second set, but Nole immediately recovers the break and then is lethal when Gojo serves to secure the tie-break, punishing his opponent once again. In the third set the Croatian is good at staying in the game, but it’s enough to break Djokovic’s serve again, who punishes on the third match point in two hours and 27 minutes of play.

FRITZ OK

—

Taylor Fritz takes even less time, who in two hours and 6 minutes gets rid of Dominic Stricker and becomes the third American to take the pass for the quarterfinals, after Shelton and Tiafoe who will face each other. A tie-break and two breaks in the following two sets are enough for Taylor, who is playing in a great tournament, to close 7-6 (2) 6-4 6-4. Now there is a huge obstacle for the race towards the title, also because the last precedent in Cincinnati says 6-0 6-4 for Djokovic, who is sensationally ahead 7-0 against Fritz, who won two sets in 7 matches against Novak (both at the 2021 Australian Open, in a match he went to fifth). The two have never faced each other in New York and Fritz will be able to count on an Arthur Ashe who is crazy about him.
