NextImg:Novak Djokovic gets into a groove to roll into US Open Round of 16

For the first time this year at the U.S. Open, Novak Djokovic inched closer to looking more like himself in his third-round match.

Having not played a competitive singles match since Wimbledon and winning two subpar matches to kick off the year’s final Grand Slam, it was enough to bring him to a 6-4, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-3 win over Cameron Norrie on Friday night in nearly three hours.

However, there were still crucial hiccups from the 24-time Grand Slam winner that could have thrown off the match against a stronger opponent.

“My team wants me to suffer on the court so I can get some more minutes spent on match play,” Djokovic told the ESPN broadcast after the win. “It’s good that I get tested. I haven’t had any matches since Wimbledon … still trying to find my groove.

“I think this is the best I’ve played so far in the tournament.”
