The Serbian defeated Learner Tien in straight sets and seeks to continue making history at Flushing Meadows<\/em><\/p>\n\n\nNew York.-<\/strong> \u2014 Serbian Novak Djokovic<\/strong> (ATP ranking No. 7) debuted with a solid victory at the US Open 2025<\/strong> by defeating American Learner Tien<\/strong> (No. 48) by 6-1, 7-6(3) and 6-2<\/strong> in a match that lasted just over two hours<\/strong> at the Arthur Ashe Stadium<\/strong>.\n\nYou may be interested in:<\/strong> Alcaraz will debut in the US Open against Opelka and could face Djokovic in the semifinals<\/a>\n\nIn the first set<\/strong>, Djokovic gave no chances and closed it in just 24 minutes<\/strong>. However, the second set<\/strong> was much more even and was decided in a tiebreak<\/strong> that the Serbian handled with authority. During this stretch, Nole requested medical assistance for discomfort in his right foot, although he was able to continue without major complications. In the third set<\/strong>, after starting with a break against him, the former world number 1 reacted and secured the victory in straight sets<\/strong>, something key to managing energy for the next rounds.\n\nDjokovic arrived at Flushing Meadows<\/strong> without previous matches on hard courts this season, after missing the Masters 1000 of Toronto and Cincinnati<\/strong>, so this victory represents an important boost to his confidence. The Serbian seeks to conquer his fifth US Open title<\/strong> and equal Jimmy Connors<\/strong>, Pete Sampras<\/strong> and Roger Federer<\/strong> as the top male champions of the tournament in the Open Era<\/strong>.\n\nWith 91 wins<\/strong> at the US Open, Djokovic is in the second historical position<\/strong>, only behind Jimmy Connors<\/strong> (98). In addition, he has 393 victories in Grand Slam tournaments<\/strong>, consolidating his supremacy in the history of tennis. In this edition, he seeks to become the first player to reach 25 Grand Slam titles<\/strong> in singles, an unprecedented record.\n\nThe next challenge for Djokovic will be in the second round<\/strong>, where he will face the American Zachary Svajda<\/strong> (N\u00b0143), who defeated the Hungarian Zsombor Piros<\/strong> (N\u00b0156) by 6-4, 6-2 and 7-5<\/strong>.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
