US Open 2024: Novak Djokovic into third round after Laslo Djere retires with abdominal injury - ‘Not what we want’

 

Djokovic was two sets and a break to the good but it had been a tight battle for more than two hours in gruelling conditions on Arthur Ashe.

 

 

Up next for the 37-year-old is a clash with Australian 28th seed Alexei Popyrin. Novak Djokovic admitted nobody wants to see a player retire injured after he received a walkover into the third round when his compatriot Laslo Djere pulled out at the start of the third set because of an abdominal issue.

 

Djokovic led 6-4 6-4 2-0, but it had been a gruelling battle to that point as Djere pushed the defending champion to dig deep.
