The Serbian tennis player reveals that the organizers have wanted to increase the speed compared to previous years.
The Australian has taken a set in their two previous 2024 Grand Slam encounters. Will this be the aussie's opportunity, who arrives at the US Open with more confidence than ever?
A condemnation as cruel as unexpected. That is what this defeat of Carlos Alcaraz in the 2024 US Open means for his aspirations of returning to the number 1 spot in the world in the short term. Despite winning two Grand Slam tournaments and a Masters 1000, the player from Murcia could face the final stretch of the season outside of the top 3 in the world rankings and even drop to fifth place after the New York Grand Slam.
If Daniil Medvedev wins the title and Novak Djokovic reaches the final, Alcaraz would drop to fifth place. He would fall out of the top 3 if either of these two scenarios plays out and could end up trailing the number 1 spot by 4,490 points if Jannik Sinner wins the tournament. Even if Sinner doesn't win, the gap between them will be significant, so Alcaraz's chances of ending the year at the top of the ATP rankings have greatly diminished.

Three months ago, Saudi Arabia announced its latest and most ambitious step into the world of tennis. It was the Six Kings Slam, an exhibition that promised to bring together the crème de la crème of racket sports, with the biggest prize money in history. We hadn't heard anything more about this event... until today: Saudi authorities have confirmed that the event will take place during October 16 and 19, with the 18th as a rest day (the ATP does not allow an exhibition to be held for three consecutive days). The participants remain Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Daniil Medvedev, and Holger Rune... and the monetary figures are, to say the least, staggering: 1.5 million euros guaranteed for each player and 6 million for the winner, the largest prize in the history of this sport. Quite something.

Although he didn't want to delve too deeply into the topic in English, Novak Djokovic spoke with the Serbian media at a press conference about the stomach issues for which he was treated on court during his second-round match at the US Open 2024: "I had stomach issues for most of the first two sets, and that was reflected in how I recovered after points. I was sweating a lot, finding it hard to breathe." Additionally, Nole took the opportunity to wish Laslo Djere all the best, as Djere ended up retiring due to physical discomfort.

Novak Djokovic continues to rewrite the history of tennis. The Serbian player, after defeating Laslo Djere today, now has a total of 90 victories at the US Open 2024. But that's not all. Novak becomes the first tennis player in history, male or female, to achieve 90 wins or more in each of the Grand Slams. Here is Djokovic's current tally: 94 in Australia, 96 in Roland Garros, 97 in Wimbledon, and 90 in New York.
Novak Djokovic becomes the only man to win +90 matches in each of the four Grand Slams.
