NEW YORK - World number one Novak Djokovic heads into the US Open as red-hot favourite to win his 18th Grand Slam and has played down the absence of perennial rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
"It's bound to be weird that Federer and Nadal aren't here..." Djokovic said ahead of the curtain-raising Aug 22-28 Western & Southern Open in New York. "Anyone can win, even more after six months without the tour. We don't really know how we're going to feel on the court." "I was informed of this rental opportunity and I did not consider any other option to come here," he said.
Djokovic was in imperious form before the season was thrown into chaos in March by the novel coronavirus pandemic, having won the Australian Open in January and Dubai Open in February.
