Anyone who thought they might be seeing a titanic upset in the third round of the US Open on Friday should know better by now. It takes a lot more than a good night to defeat Novak Djokovic.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion made a late-night, three-and-a-half hour, five-set comeback win look easy against Serbian countryman Laslo Djere, erasing a two-set deficit to win 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Djere, ranked No. 38 in the world, began the match looking like an even match and then some against Djokovic, beating him in the baseline game that has made the current world No. 2 an all-time great. He outmaneuvered him on a number of points with an aggression that paid off repeatedly. In the first two sets, Djere posted more winners than Djokovic with fewer unforced errors while winning 12-of-14 points at the net and 11-of-21 points on Djokovic's second serve.
