Novak Djokovic has earned the right for his preferences to be considered by tournament organizers, and it would be unusual for his words at this US Open 2024 press conference to go unnoticed. When asked about playing in the last slot of the day, the Serbian expressed his preference not to repeat in that time slot and revealed when he prefers to compete in New York.

A solid and flawless start for Novak Djokovic in a US Open 2024 where he presents himself as one of the top contenders for the title. The Balkan tennis player is aware that years take their toll and pays attention to every detail that could affect his energy. One of these details is the match schedule, with his discontent over finishing late at night. He sent a clear message to the organization in this regard, but also touched on other topics.

- Feelings on his debut at the US Open 2024 and current knee condition

"It has been a good start. It took me some time to find my serving and the right ball rhythm, but my groundstrokes were good. It's never easy to kick off a Grand Slam, especially when you haven't played any matches on this surface before. I hope to improve each day. The good thing about these events is that you can train on the day off and work on things, which I need right now. I'll keep striving to get better. As for the knee, it's fine, I haven't had any issues since the Olympics, so touch wood," he highlighted.

- What do you think about your next opponent, Laslo Djere

Last year, Djokovic had to go to a fifth set to defeat his compatriot on these courts, so he's aware of what Djere is capable of after his victory over Struff in the first round. "We crossed paths in the locker room and congratulated each other. It's a big win for him coming back from surgery not long ago. He likes the playing conditions here as they are a bit faster, which suits his style. I remember our match from last year very well, and I'll analyze it to do better," Novak stated.

- Request to not play so late for the rest of the tournament

"Being a veteran doesn't help me at all to play until so late because right now, I feel like I'm low on energy, it's as if my battery is running out. I thought I'd be on the court around 8:30 p.m., and suddenly the match lasted two and a half hours. These things happen when you're assigned the second slot of the night session, you have to accept it. I love the night sessions here, but in the first slot. I hope to be scheduled in that slot for upcoming matches to finish at a decent time," commented Novak Djokovic, who aims to continue improving in the US Open 2024.
