At the 2024 US Open Round 1 press conference, Novak Djokovic reflects on his first-round victory against Radu Albot, expressing congratulations and acknowledging his next opponent Djere. Djokovic also discusses his preparation for late-night matches and the challenges of starting on a new surface after knee surgery. The conversation shifts to paying tribute to Dominic Thiem, described as a nice guy, respected, admired, and loved by peers, colleagues, and fans for his work ethic, tenacity, and intensity. Sadly, an injury to his wrist forced him to retire from the game before fully regaining his top form.
