NEW YORK: A tenacious Novak Djokovic survived a US Open late night fright battling back from two sets down to tame fellow Serb Laslo Djere 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 on Friday , and move into the fourth round at Flushing Meadows.
"I hope you enjoyed the show, it was not so enjoyable for me especially in the first two sets," Djokovic told the crowd."It was one of the toughest matches I have played here in many years." Djere signalled to Djokovic he was in for more of the same on Friday when he broke the second-seed to start the match and then held his nerve the rest of set for an unexpected and well-earned 1-0 lead.
With the crowd still buzzing Djokovic came out for the third set with an urgency and energy missing in the opening two sets, breaking Djere at the first opportunity and again to go up 4-0 on the way to cutting the deficit to 2-1. But Djere was not done immediately breaking back, setting the stage for what was a marathon third game that saw Djokovic regain control with yet another break.
