US Open 2020 : Novak Djokovic wins W&S open, will enter US open with 26 match winning streak
Novak Djokovic has won his 80th career title with a 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic. Djokovic now enters the US Open at 23-0 in 2020 and has won 26 straight matches dating to 2019. The Serb has won five of the last seven Grand Slam tournaments. US Open starts tomorrow.
33 year old Serb, battled a stiff neck and stomach troubles this week at the Western & Southern Open (W&S Open) but still managed to win the title.
With victory in W&S Open Djokovic has now captured his 35th Masters 1000 title, tying him with Nadal. He is the only man to win all nine Masters 1000 titles once, and the only one to win them twice.
“I mean, going on an unbeaten run so far this year obviously brings even more confidence each match,” he said. “I get to play next match. I’m just trying to enjoy it and embrace the process. How long that journey is going to last and what kind of legacy I’m going to leave behind, that’s on somebody else to really judge and, you know, and evaluate.”
US Open 2020 : Can anyone stop Novak Djokovic from winning the US Open 2020 title ?
Djokovic’s red hot winning streak, no Roger Federer & Rafael Nadal in the draw will once again make the Serbian tennis legend the favorite to win the US Open title this year.
At this point the only thing that might stop the 33-year-old world No. 1 from closing the historical gap on rivals Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer is Djokovic’s own health.
Federer is not competing as he is recuperating from his operated knee and defending champion Nadal will miss the Open due to the Covid-19 concerns. This will be the first time since 1999 U.S Open that they are both skipping the tournament.
Djokovic will open his US campaign on Monday against Bosnia’s Damir Dzumhur. The three-time Open champ (2011, 2015 & 2018) has made no secret of the fact that he wants to win more Slams and ultimately surpass Nadal (19) and Federer (20). He currently has 17 Grand Slam titles to his name.
If he fails to add 18th Grand Slam title in the next two weeks in his name, no one will be more disappointed than Djokovic himself.
