NEW YORK — Everyone should know by now to never count out Novak Djokovic. No matter how big a deficit he faces. No matter how poorly he might be playing.
“But I’m not really wanting to be in this position, to be honest," Djokovic said."I prefer a straight-set win. So hopefully I can get back on that track in the next match.” Once he seized control, he held on tight and never let Djere recover. In the crucible of a fifth set, Djokovic was cool as can be, collecting 12 of the initial 14 points to leave no doubt how this would go.
Perhaps the intimidation factor that favors Djokovic in most matchups simply wasn’t there. They have known each other for years, practicing together, spending time as Davis Cup teammates and competing on tour as a doubles pairing.With the temperature down around 65 degrees Fahrenheit , Djere came out strong. He was outlasting Djokovic on the lengthiest baseline exchanges.
When Djokovic halfheartedly pushed a forehand return long to end the second set, the match was 1 hour, 33 minutes old, and everything was going Djere’s way. Djokovic flapped his arms and waved his hands to ask the crowd to salute him. That set would be over in a blink.
