Djokovic: the experience helped me
Nole commented “I lost three games the entire match against a player I never played against before. It can always be tricky because you’re approaching the match without really knowing how he’s going to react. First time playing on Arthur Ashe Stadium. The experience of playing in that stadium before many times has helped me to kind of step it up and execute my game plan and be aggressive. I think I’ve done great from the first to last point. Everything worked well. I couldn’t ask for a better opening of this year’s US Open. Hopefully I can continue in that rhythm.”
Next vs. Haider-Maurer
Nole will play Haider-Maurer. Head to head is 1-0 for the Serbian that has demolished Haider-Maurer 6-4 6-0 this year in Monte Carlo.
