Serbia’s legendary tennis player Novak Djokovic showcased
his catching skills in the US Open 2023.
The 36-year-old is currently taking part in the fourth and
final Grand Slam of the year where he is in quest to win yet another major
title.
During the fourth-round fixture in the mega-event, Djokovic
showcased his catching skills as he managed to catch the ball in his shorts.
The Belgrade-born defeated Croatia’s Borna Gojo in straight sets
with a score of 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 on Sunday.
Djokovic is now set to face off against America’s Taylor Fritz in
the quarterfinal of the mega-event on Tuesday.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner will be hoping to go all the
way this time around and add another title to his already full cabinet.
Interestingly, the US Open, along with the French Open, remains Djokovic’s
least successful major competition where he only managed to lift the title
three times each.
His last major triumph while playing at the Flashing Medows
came back in 2018 when he defeated Argentina’s Juan Martín del Potro in the
final with a score of 6–3, 7–6(7–4), 6–3.
In the 2019 and 2020 editions, Djokovic was knocked out from
the fourth round whereas in the 2021 edition, he lost the final to Russia’s Daniil
Medvedev in the final with a score of 6–4, 6–4, 6–4.
Last year, Djokovic missed the mega-event in New York because
of not following the Covid-19 vaccination protocol.

- Quinwen learned it's better to have friends in tennis. Happy to see she has changed her attitude on the circuit.
- Remind her the racquet is in HER hand, not any coach.
- My advice to Coco is take a few months off from the tour and focus on the serve. If MacMillan is not producing the expected results, relieve him of his duties and hire someone else. To hell with the rankings and what people will say. Just take a break. Mental health is far more important than money.
- Eventually (as other sports have done) WTA will be forced to make DNA / Gender Testing mandatory in order to protect and promote fairness in competitions. End of so-called 'controversy'.
- It's sad... but Rybakina is not going to be able to endure her groomer's interference in Life and still excel to her best level. BTW: No media has reported her last sentence to the physio. They kept asking questions and she abruptly told them: "I know what it is; I'm ready to go now".
- You seem to have 'lost the plot' ??
- This needs to be done, and I think Jessica Pegula is an excellent choice for chair to look into the situation. However, a very brief look at the other members of the panel would suggest a very USA heavy contingent. The group needs to represent all interests, not just turn it into a way the US can screw more money out of an already biased calendar.
- The tennis world should be kissing her feet for taking-on this long needed position in a much needed council. The WTA and ATP need a good shaking-up. Pegula's business heritage is a proven one. Let's hope she and her colleagues can stop WTA & ATP from shutting their work down and out. GO GET 'EM !!
- So the Sportswasher's largest market is... the Filipino community? That's all well and good but the hundreds and hundreds of empty seats throughout is embarrassing. Talk about bad optics!
- The poor Head Sportswasher has been whining and crying in the media, and basically threatening Saba, Iga, etc. Must be a real Ego Buster when they dangle money and people (especially Women) say, 'No thanks'.
