Novak Djokovic has eliminated qualifier Borna Gojo 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 to reach the U.S. Open quarterfinals.
Next up for Djokovic will be a matchup against No. 9 seed, a 25-year-old from California, who is the only remaining player in the men’s bracket to not have dropped a set so far.
“He has improved so much over the years,” Djokovic said. “Obviously the matches are only going to get tougher from now onwards. I’m ready.”“I need to play within myself and trust that if I’m playing well, then that’s going to be enough, and I don’t need to kind of do anything extra,” said Fritz, who defeated Swiss qualifier Dominic Stricker 7-6 , 6-4, 6-4 earlier Sunday.
Djokovic is 7-0 against Fritz, one of three American men who won fourth-round matches, along with No. 10 Frances Tiafoe and unseeded Ben Shelton. It is the first time a trio of men from the United States made it to the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows since 2005, when Andre Agassi, James Blake and Robby Ginepri did it.
“That’s amazing, obviously, for the , for the U.S. Open, as well,” Djokovic said. “All of the guys — Fritz, Shelton and Tiafoe — big serve, just very aggressive play.”___The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
