It has been business as usual at the US Open for one of the world’s greatest ever tennis players. Novak Djokovic has cruised through the opening rounds of the Grand Slam, as he bids to end his two-year wait for a Slam success.

Fritz was at his clinical best in the previous round, beating Tomas Machac in straight sets. The American won a staggering 91% of the points on the first serve, and smashed an eye-catching 87 winners.

Fritz has progressed through the tournament well, but the fact that he finds wins against Djokovic hard to come by can’t be overlooked. Djokovic has continued to roll back the years at Flushing Meadows, and we foresee the Serbian reaching yet another Grand Slam semi-final.
