New York (AP) – The tennis world number one Novak Djokovic reached the last sixteen at the US Open despite losing a set against the Japanese Kei Nishikori. The 34-year-old Serb came to a 6: 7 (4: 7), 6: 3, 6: 3, 6: 2 success against the finalists from 2014.
On the way to the Grand Slam, Djokovic now meets the number 21 seeded Russian Aslan Karazew or Jenson Brooksby from the USA in the round of the best 16. After his victories in Melbourne, Paris and Wimbledon, Djokovic definitely wants to win the fourth Grand Slam tournament of the season in New York. The last time before him was the Australian Rod Laver in 1969.
