Novak Djokovic (2), who this Friday signed a miraculous comeback at the US Open lifting two sets against, He made sure that this kind of success was a warning for his rivals in this ‘grand slam’.

“At the same time, I really don’t want to be in this position, to be honest. I prefer to win in three sets. Hopefully I can get back on that path in the next game,” he added.

After losing the first two sleeves and being left on the ropes, Djokovic defeated his compatriot Laslo Djere (38) in the third round of the ‘big’ New York and He qualified for the round of 16, where he will face Croatian Borna Gojo (105).

Djokovic beat Djere 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 and 6-3 in three hours and 45 minutes in a match that ended after 1:30 a.m. in New York and thus sealed the eighth win of his entire career after losing the first two sets of a match.

The US Open triple champion, and this year’s favorite for the title along with Carlos Alcaraz (1), He assured that tonight’s clash will be “like two different games”.

“The first two sets and then the other three. The score in the third and fourth might not do justice. I think it’s more debatable than 6-1 and 6-1“, he thought.

Djokovic also bowed to Djere’s excellent performancewhich is about to sign a brilliant achievement.

“He was able to play. To be honest, I have never seen him play like this (…). I think the game started very well. He is more comfortable than me. I was defending myself, especially in the first two sets,” he said.

“To be honest, he could and should have played better, at a higher level in those two sets, but I give him enormous credit. so I don’t feel comfortable in the court (…). He is unlucky. I told him online that he should continue because if he continues to play this way he will only continue to climb the ranks. He is an amazing person, he works very hard. Tonight shows that he deserves to be higher than he is in the ranking,” he said.
