‘Let’s f***ing go’: Unlikely Aussie’s stunning statement as Novak pulls off 1.30am ‘great escape’
The Aussie unfurled a stream of 55 winners to overpower Zhang before sealing victory with his 13th ace of the match in the fourth set.
Second seed Djokovic recovered from a sluggish start on the Arthur Ashe Stadium to complete a 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 victory in three hours and 45 minutes. “It was definitely not so enjoyable for me, especially in the first two sets. It was one of the toughest games I’ve played here for many, many years.”
Yet with the match seemingly there for the taking, Djokovic flipped the switch in the third, fourth and fifth sets. From there, there was only going to be one winner and Djokovic broke again and had soon sprinted into a 4-1 lead, before serving for the match at 5-3.
