Novak Djokovic's Epic US Open Comeback: A Tennis Thriller for the Ages 🎾🔥




Novak Djokovic staged a remarkable comeback in the third round of the 2023 US Open against fellow Serbian Laslo Djere. Djokovic, aiming for his historic 24th Grand Slam title, found himself two sets down but fought back to win 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 in a grueling match lasting nearly four hours.

Initially, Djere dominated with powerful baseline play and strategic shots behind Djokovic. However, Djokovic regained his form in the third set, capitalizing on Djere's forehand errors. A pivotal moment occurred when Djokovic broke serve at 1-0 in the third set during a thrilling 26-shot rally, signaling his momentum shift.

Despite the scoreline favoring Djokovic, Djere remained competitive. Djokovic secured a crucial break at 1-1 in the fourth set, sealing his epic comeback with exceptional defense and composure. He secured his fourth-round spot past 1:30 a.m. local time, saving a break point while serving for the match.

Djokovic improved his head-to-head record against Djere to 2-0, with a season record of 41-5. He now eyes the possibility of becoming the oldest men's champion in US Open history (Open Era) by winning his third major title this season at 36 years old.

Djokovic's next challenge is Croatian qualifier Borna Gojo, who secured his first major fourth-round spot by defeating Jiri Vesely. Ranked 76th in ATP Live Rankings, Gojo's victory ensures his entry into the Top 100 for the first time after the season's final major.
