Novak Djokovic overcame a sluggish start to defeat 22-year-old American Zachary Svajda 6-7(5) 6-3 6-3 6-1 in the second round of the US Open on Wednesday in New York. Playing on Arthur Ashe Stadium, the world No. 1 dropped the opening set in a tiebreak before steadying his baseline game, breaking serve twice in each of the next two sets and pulling away as Svajda struggled with cramps. The victory sends Djokovic into the third round of the season’s final Grand Slam for the 19th time. The 24-time major winner and four-time US Open champion is seeking his first title at Flushing Meadows since 2023.
