The round of 32 match of US Open 2023 between Laslo Djere and Novak Djokovic will take place on September 2.
In the past 15 months, Laslo Djere has notably improved his performance on surfaces other than clay, as seen in his current strong showing at the US Open. Despite a recent history of struggling at this tournament, he has reached the third round without dropping a set, defeating Brandon Nakashima and Hugo Gaston convincingly. Djere’s previous three third-round appearances in Grand Slam events ended in losses to top-10 players, including his most recent defeat against Stefanos Tsitsipas at Wimbledon in 2023. Now, he faces an even tougher challenge at the US Open. Throughout his career, Djere has a 1-9 record against top-5 players, with his sole victory coming against Casper Ruud in Auckland earlier this year.
Novak Djokovic started strong at the US Open, breezing through his initial matches with ease, conceding just six games in total. His dominant performance was expected, considering his opponents’ lack of hardcourt Grand Slam success. Djokovic’s draw is in his favor, with the highest-seeded player he was slated to face already eliminated. He’s set to play Laslo Djere next and potentially Borna Gojo or Jiri Vesely in the round of 16. In his half of the draw, only two top-10 players, Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe, remain, both of whom Djokovic has a perfect 10-0 record against. Following his Australian Open win earlier this year and a recent Cincinnati Masters victory, Djokovic is in peak form. He appears well-positioned for a strong US Open run, having not exited at the third-round stage in a Grand Slam since Wimbledon 2016.
