NOVAK DJOKOVIC vs Learner Tien
In the past few years, Novak Djokovic clearly shows a strategic choice: ignoring most of the small ATP tournaments to put all their energy for Grand Slam.
Djokovic often entered big prizes without many previous boot matches, but the results were still impressive. In 2025, Nole went deep in all three Grand Slam, and only stopped before Jannik Sinner – the player defeated him in both defeats completed in these tournaments.
At the US Open, Djokovic continues to “special” to ignore the premise hard yard. This will be the first time he has appeared on the hard ground since March. However, thanks to the opposite branch, Djokovic will only be able to encounter Sinner if reaching the final – a significant spiritual advantage.
Although the experience is still a big plus, Djokovic increasingly shows the difficulty on the fast pitch. At the beginning of the season, he left the opponents poorly like Jaime Faria or Nishesh Basavaryeddy pulled into intense matches, even losing to Opelka and Van De Zandschulp. This shows that Djokovic's physical fitness and ability to rotate the situation is no longer “inviolable” as before.
The US Open has never been the “home yard” of Nole. In the 24 Grand Slam, he only was crowned 4 times in New York. Sad memories such as being tried to lose in 2020 or defeat against Popyrin in 2024 are still intact in the memory of fans.
On the other side of the net, Learner Tien entered the US Open with the mind of a “umbrella”. Only 18 years old, this is the first season he played ATP Tour but made a remarkable impression. Having just reached the Top 50 in the world, Tien had 4 victories against top 10 players this year, which highlighted the defeating Daniil Medvedev at Australian Open.
However, the US Open is not a “good land” for Tien. He still has no victory in the main round in New York (0-3). To surprise Djokovic, Tien needs a more explosive and brave performance than ever.
🔎 Professional judgment
Confrontation: 0-0
Djokovic advantage: Experience, the ability to control the pace, stubborn at hinges.
The fulcrum for money: Young, relaxed spirit, the ability to explode before the big opponent.
Although Tien has proven his stubbornness in the long ball, his play is not enough “weapons” to make it difficult for Djokovic if the Serbian player plays the right strength. If Nole passes the early stages of rhythm, it is likely that this will be a neat victory for the world's No. 1.
