US Open: Djokovic Enter QF
The Daily Guardian
|September 02, 2025
Serbia's tennis maestro Novak Djokovic directed a clean and swift performance to show Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff the exit route and set up a quarter-final showdown with number four seed and home favorite Taylor Fritz at the US Open.
The 38-year-old Djokovic became the oldest man in history to qualify for all four major singles quarterfinals in one season, following his 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 victory over the German in a contest that lasted for an hour and 49 minutes. He also joined Pancho Gonzalez, Ken Rosewall and Jimmy Connors to become the fourth-oldest to advance to the US Open quarterfinals.
After enduring a thorny start to the tournament where Djokovic battled fitness concerns and tricky on-court tests at Flushing Meadows, the 24-time major champion rediscovered the purple patch by exuding dominance over Struff. With his sublime strokeplay, he conquered the German to confirm his 14th quarter-final appearance at the US Open and celebrated his win by using his racquet as a violin and playing it on the court.
