Novak Djokovic is more and more the favorite to win his 14^th slam at this US Open edition.

The former world no.1 had no problems in dismissing Federer’s conqueror John Millman in straight sets (6-3 6-4 6-4) in the quarters and he seems to be the “fresher” player around. The biggest problem for Nole against the Australian was to resist the extremely humid conditions as his tennis was clearly better than Millman’s.

After the match, Nole had great words for the Australian to say

“I really have respect for him. I thought his kind of approach and mindset even before Roger’s match, his match against Roger and the match against me today, he showed respect to us, but he said, ‘I’m going to go out and I’m going to play. I’m not going [to] play, to satisfy the crowd and make it a nice-looking match. I just want to win.

Credit to him for saying that and coming out and really backing that up with a performance. I mean, he’s a great fighter… just all-around player. I think he has had probably the tournament of his life and a match of his life against Roger. He made me run and he made me earn my match today, earn my win.”
