Novak Djokovic improves his record against American opposition to a perfect 12-0.
NEW YORK: Novak Djokovic shrugged off stifling heat and Taylor Fritz 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 to breeze into the US Open semifinals on Tuesday and stay on course for a fourth Flushing Meadows crown that would see him match Margaret Court’s record haul of 24 Grand Slams.
“It’s expected of course that people are backing the home player and there is nothing wrong with that,” said Djokovic. “I actually like the energy, like the atmosphere on center court here.“I’m fine with that. I thrive on that energy and try to use it as a fuel. But Fritz could not keep the party going, although the 25-year-old had his opportunities but could convert only two of 12 break chances while committing 51 unforced errors, almost double his opponent’s 26.
