By IANS News August 29, 2024 • 10:12 AM View: 256

Arthur Ashe Stadium: 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic advanced to the US Open third round when his compatriot Laslo Djere retired early in the third set. The second seed led 6-4, 6-4, 2-0 before the retirement under the roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium.

By advancing, Djokovic became the first male player to record 90 wins at all four majors. He is eight victories shy of tying Jimmy Connors for most US Open match wins.

The first set alone took a full hour. Djokovic prevailed, 6-4, by winning every point on Djere’s serve in the 10th game.
