The Novak Djokovic-Laslo Djere match, played under the closed roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium due to rain, was a physical and mental battle for both players.
Djere, who had previously given Djokovic a tough time in the past, started the match strongly, putting pressure on the world number two.
However, Djokovic’s experience and skill eventually prevailed as he took the first set.
In the second set, Djokovic continued to dominate despite facing some physical challenges of his own. Djere fought valiantly but was unable to match Djokovic’s consistency.
The match was finally decided when Djere retired with a hip injury.
This victory wasn’t easy for Djokovic, who had to dig deep to overcome a determined opponent and his own physical limitations.
