When it comes to Novak Djokovic and his matches in New York, we would have said that we have already seen everything, but on Tuesday, August 27, the huge tennis will do something for the first time in the US Open.
Novak Djokovic has been playing for 20 years at the US Open and constantly emphasizes how much the magic of matches in the evening session loves.
The organizers of the last Grand Slam of the season fulfilled his wish, and in his first match this year, he entered the Arthur Ashe arena in the evening session. It will not be the case for the game on Wednesday, August 27, against the American Zachary Svajda.
Premiere at the US Open: Novak Djokovic opens the day on Arthur Ashe!
It had never happened until now that Djokovic would open the living program on Arthur Ashe, the largest stadium in New York, as Sportal.Blic.rs writes.
So far, the Serb has played either the second match of the day session or night matches, but how for all there is a first time, Djokovic will play against Svajda from 11:30 local time, ie from 6:30 pm in Romania.
As a result of the programming, Novak decided to train on Tuesday starting at 1:00 pm, with Jordan Thompson as sparring partner. Nole spent an hour on the field and had the opportunity to get acquainted with the conditions that will wait for him at Flushing Meadows.
Will face a player coming from qualifications
In the second round at the US Open, Djokovic will face American Zachary Svajda. Given that in New York it is a high heat for several days and that the temperature will be extremely high and tomorrow, Novak will certainly not agree this time.
We remind that, in the first round at the US Open, Djokovic defeated Learner Tien with 3-0, confronting in that match with certain problems due to the high humidity and the feet.
