Novak Djokovic finds himself two sets down at yhe US Open against Laslo Djere, who capitalized on his opportunities to lead 6-4, 6-4.

Djokovic had the worst possible start against his compatriot Laslo Djere. In the first two sets, Djere was relentless with his serve and didn't allow 'Nole' to convert the chances he had.

On the other hand, the 32nd seed secured a break in each set to take a 6-4, 6-4 lead. If the score holds, it would be the first time Djokovic hasn't advanced past the third round at the US Open since 2006. The Serbian has come back to win 7 out of 33 matches he started by losing the first two sets. The last time he accomplished this feat at Flushing Meadows was in 2011 against Roger Federer in the semifinals, a match that ended 6-7, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-5.
