The legendary Novak Djokovic set three more records at the US Open after a very difficult victory against Sachary Svajda in the 2nd round of US Open 2025.
Djokovic, a great world tennis player, knows that a record will definitely be broken at the US Open this year. At the age of 38, he always tried his best to win glory in every match. Not only aiming to win the title of Grand Slam for the first time since September 2023, Djokovic also aims to rush to other records.
Before Zachary Svajda in the second round of US Open, he set three historical records after the end of the match with the final score of 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-3 and 6-1.
Djokovic is currently the player who has many times in the third round in major tournaments, with 75 times, more than Roger Federer once. He was also equal to the Swiss tennis player in the leading position in the number of wins on the hard field at Grand Slam (191 matches) but his win rate was higher, and the number of times in the third round of US Open (19).
Serbian tennis legend is no longer as they used to be the same as the age of creation. His top priority is his family, and he has hinted that he is very sad to think of missing the 8th birthday of Tara's daughter. “I hope that will not happen anymore,” he shared.
But Djokovic is the only one in Big Four still standing, and that has a reason. Every a little is the motivation for him. At the end of last season, he side by side with Andy Murray and now he is aiming to do the same thing with Monica Seles. “It would be very meaningful to me. I think you already know who it is, but I will not name it now, so as not to say too soon. If the time of arrival … we had some interesting conversations,” he explained.
Balkan's original player had to struggle to defeat Svajda, the player had to go through 4 qualifying matches. The American tennis player, ranked 145 ATP, has just won two victories in Challenger in Newport and Lexington, causing too many difficulties for the former world number one world Novak Djokovic.
This is the second consecutive match Djokovic difficult at Flushing Meadows. After struggling to defeat the Learner Tien in the first round, he continued not to have the highest form before Svajda. Djokovic made up to 14 self-damaged errors in the first set and even led 1-3 in the third set. However, the bravery of the world's No. 1 has helped him overcome difficulties, and also thanks to SVAJDA having a foot problem, causing the opponent's serve speed to significantly decrease at the end of the second set and throughout the set of three and four.
This was shared by Djokovic after the match: “It was obvious that he was injured at the end of the second set and could not serve well. To be honest, it was not very good. I was not really satisfied with my performance in the first set, but I also had to praise Svajda for playing a truly quality match.”
The highlight of this match until Novak to lose the serve in the fourth game, while his opponent is 3-1 and the serve. It was a key moment of the match, and Djokovic (currently ranked 7th in the world) has turned the situation, winning 5 games in a row.
Djokovic currently has a record of 28-9 in the season, with the highlight of the 100th championship in his career in Geneva in May. Despite reaching the semi-finals of all three Grand Slam this year, he still has not been able to participate in any final. The last time the Serbian tennis player did not reach any Grand Slam finals in a season in 2017.
