"This is my 20th US Open. My opponent today is 19 years old, he’s literally half my age, which is incredible. At this stage of my career, it’s really about learning how to preserve energy for what matters. The body doesn’t recover as fast as it used," said Djokovic after the match, who sustained a foot blister during the match.
Djokovic also became the first player since 1968 to win 75 straight opening-round matches at the Grand Slams. Djokovic is all set to face American Zachary Svajda in the second round.
