Novak Djokovic quickly recovered from a lower back problem to end the British singles at the US Open while he was heading in front of Cameron Norrie 6-4 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 6-3 to reach the fourth round.
Normia followed Emma Raducanu when he left the tournament before the middle weekend, The 30 -year -old lost against the Grand Chelem Djokovic champion 24 times during his beginnings at the Arthur Ashe stadium.
Djokovic, who now defeated Norrie during their seven meetings, said of his physical condition: “Everything is fine. You don’t want to reveal too much to competitors who look at this.
“I’m good, as young as ever, as strong as ever. It’s New York, even if you feel something body, energy simply prevails.”
Djokovic took a medical time in the first set after seeming to be injured, grimacing and trying to stretch it.
The 38 -year -old man was already a break and served the opening set after the match resumed, when he had then had more treatment at the start of the second.
British No. 2, who brought his first victory against a top 10 player in a large slam for his first home, retaliated from 0-40 to 3-3 and maintained the pressure on Djokovic, who made more and more agitated gestures to his box.
Djokovic took an early advance in equality, but Norrie took advantage of a makeshift tranche thanks to the net cord to withdraw at 3-3 and extended his series of points with five consequences with his best game passage from the match.
His opponent saved a shooting point but then doubled and, when Norrie broke in the opening match of the third set, a shock seemed possible.
He could not cement the break, however, and with a double fault, the momentum is changed again while Djokovic made a series of four games in a row.
There were still signs that everything was not entirely good, the Serbic just looking at the Norrie service game at 4-1 before locking again to take the set first, then the match while he was really looking for playing his best tennis of the tournament.
“Overall, it was probably the best service performance in the tournament,” said Djokovic. “Of course, I’m happy for that. It is probably one of the most, if not the most important, the shot of the game. So I’m happy to see how I made this time.”
German Jan-Lennard Struff Revered the 17th American seeded Frances Frances Tiafoe 6-4 6-3 7-6 (9-7), winning the match with a hard tight victory in the third set to reach the fourth round.
The sixth American seeded, Ben Shelton, has retired to injuries against French not tested Adrian Mannarino With the pair locked with two sets.
Mannarino returned from a set at 3-6 6-3 4-6 6-4 when Shelton shakes his opponent’s hand.
The French will face the Czech Be in the legs in the fourth round.
Carlos Alcaraz played concerns about a knee problem after having run to the fourth round.
The Spaniard called to the coach at the end of the second set of his confrontation with Luciano Darderi in Italy, but then did not lose a single match, filled a 6-2 6-4 6-0 victory in just one hour and 44 minutes.
Alcaraz took a medical time for a medical time, the coach massaged his thigh, but showed no harmful effect later, and said: “I feel good.
“I just felt something that didn’t work well at the knee, but after five, six points, I left. I just called the physio as a precaution. I am not worried about it.”
Alcaraz’s biggest concern before the match was an unusually early start hour for him at 11:30 am – a big change compared to his two previous games, which were in the night session.
“I just tried to start waking up,” he said with a smile. “This is a schedule that I am not used to playing, so my first goal was to start well, with a good pace. I think I did rather well and after that, continue.”
Alcaraz has not yet abandoned a set and will then face a French not tested Arthur Rinderknechwho ended his compatriot Benjamin Bonzi’s race.
Bonzi followed his victory in the first round on Daniil Medvedev, who made the headlines after a spectacular Russian crisis, with another five sets victory but lacked steam against Rinderknech.
