US Open: Djokovic Overcomes Heat To Progress

Novak Djokovic

Novak Djokovic recouped to beat Hungary's Marton Fucsovics in the US Open initially round at Flushing Meadows in the wake of battling in the New York stickiness. 

Djokovic, going for a fourteenth Grand Slam title, won 6 3 6-4 6-0. 

The Serb, 31, was temperamental on his feet and requested a wiped out container to be put beside his seat in the second set. 

Fucsovics at that point blurred and Djokovic won the last 10 recreations, with the players taking a 10-minute warmth break between the third and fourth sets. 

It was the first occasion when US Open coordinators actualized an extraordinary warmth arrangement in men's matches. 

"I was supplicating that I got the opportunity to feel better since I wasn't feeling extraordinary for the greater part of the initial three sets," said 6th seed Djokovic. 

"I need to thank the US Open for enabling us to have a 10-minute break after the third set. We both required it." 

Wimbledon champion Djokovic, who won the men's title at Flushing Meadows in 2011 and 2015, will meet American Tennys Sandgren in the second round. 

Roger Federer, who plays Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka in Tuesday's night session, is a conceivable quarter-last rival for Djokovic.
