Novak Djokovic vs Kei Nishikori head-to-head record

The US Open cannot have a better third round match than Novak Djokovic taking on Kei Nishikori. In terms of the Djokovic vs Nishikori head-to-head record, the Serbian leads by a staggering margin of 17-2. However, Djokovic had lost a match to the Japanese player at the US Open, when Nishikori won a four-set semifinal in 2014 to reach his first final. Since that meeting, the world number one has registered a whopping 16 consecutive victories, including a match at the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics 2020.

Novak Djokovic continues Calendar Grand Slam pursuit

Novak Djokovic will continue his historic pursuit of winning the calendar Grand Slam when he faces Kei Nishikori in the third round. The Serbian has won all the 23 Grand Slam matches that he has played in 2021 and is five victories away from making it a perfect record of 28-0. If the world number one were to achieve this feat, he would be the first man to do so since Rod Laver won all four Grand Slams in 1969.

If Novak Djokovic were to lift the US Open 2021, he would also establish himself as the greatest of all time. As things stand, the Serbian shares the same total number of Grand Slams won as both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal (20). Djokovic tied the legendary duo after winning this year's Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon.
