Novak Djokovic of Serbia hits a backhand during his Men's Singles Quarterfinal match against Taylor Fritz of the United States on Day Nine of the 2023 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 05, 2023. AFPPIX: Novak Djokovic charged into a record 47th Grand Slam semi-final on a steamy Tuesday at the US Open with a straight-sets win over Taylor Fritz, while home favourite Coco Gauff stayed on track for her first major title.
Djokovic awaits either 10th seed Frances Tiafoe or the up-and-coming Ben Shelton, who face off in an all-American affair in Tuesday's night session at Arthur Ashe Stadium. “It was very humid conditions. Difficult to play but that is why we train and try to get ourselves in the best conditions to deliver. Not easy but you have to fight,“ said Djokovic.
The 19-year-old is the first American teenager to reach the US Open semi-finals since Serena Williams in 2001. “I didn’t feel comfortable at all the whole match, even at match point. She has the ability to come back no matter the scoreline so I was just trying to play every ball and hit it deep.”
