Novak Djokovic advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2025 US Open with a commanding straight-sets win over Jan-Lennard Struff, 6–3, 6–3, 6–2. The victory marked his 64th Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance and his 14th at Flushing Meadows. With this result, Djokovic has now reached the quarterfinals at all four majors in the same season for the ninth time in his career.
Oldest to Achieve the Feat
At 38 years and 94 days old, Djokovic became the oldest man in the Open Era to reach the quarterfinals at the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and the US Open in a single season. No other male player has accomplished this after turning 34. His achievement surpasses previous records held by Roger Federer and himself, setting a new benchmark for longevity at the highest level of the sport.
Physical Challenges and Precision Play
Despite requiring treatment for his right shoulder and forearm during changeovers, Djokovic showed little discomfort on court. He broke Struff’s serve six times and won 79% of his first-serve points, maintaining control throughout the 109-minute match. His ability to stay sharp and efficient, even while managing physical strain, continues to define his late-career dominance.
Next Up: Taylor Fritz
Djokovic will face fourth seed Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals. The American, last year’s runner-up, is the final home hope in the men’s draw. Djokovic holds a 10–0 head-to-head record against Fritz, including a straight-sets win in their previous US Open meeting. The matchup promises intensity, with Fritz seeking a breakthrough and Djokovic chasing a 25th major title.
