"It was an incredibly close match. It was really anybody's match. I thought I was really lucky to save some crucial break points in the second set. I think for most of the second and third sets he was the better player. That last game was nerve-wracking. A tough one for Taylor to finish with a double fault, he didn't deserve that," said the 24-time Grand Slam winner after the match.

Djokovic has currently been dealing with a few fitness issues, but he has still managed to get the better of his opponents. The 38-year-old Serbian legend will now face Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals of the Flushing Meadows. Djokovic had last won the US Open in 2023 by defeating Daniil Medvedev.
