Novak Djokovic defeated Cameron Norrie to become the second oldest player to reach the round of 16 in US Open history. The Serbian showed greater endurance and freshness at crucial moments to achieve his 192nd Grand Slam victory on hard courts.

Djokovic prevailed 6-4, 6-7(4), 6-2, 6-3 after nearly three hours of play. The Serbian star scored 18 aces, recorded 51 winners and made only 31 unforced errors. His next opponent will be Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff.

Nori started aggressively, kept the initiative in the long rallies and managed to win the second set in a tiebreak. He even took the lead with a break at the start of the third set, but Djokovic reacted instantly – he regained control and entered his typical mode of domination. He broke twice in a row and turned the set in his favor, and in the fourth set he took a 3-0 lead and closed out the match without a chance for a comeback.

Thus, the 24-time Grand Slam champion confirmed his status as the favorite in the tournament and continues his march toward new heights. | BGNES
