Djokovic is not quite convincingly moving along the US Open tournament grid. However, it cannot be said that the Serb is now far from his optimal condition. Simply, Novak was included in the matches exactly at the moment when it was necessary. This tactic brings results and Djokovic is close to his next finale in his career. At the start of the current competition, the Serb dealt with Holger Rune (6-1, 6-7, 6-2, 6-1). Then Tallon Grixpoor (6-2, 6-3, 6-2), Kei Nishikori (6-7, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2) and Jadon Brooksby (1-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2).
Maria Sakkari improved her last year’s result at the US Open. Then the representative of Greece managed to break into the 1/8 finals, where she lost to Serena Williams (3-6, 7-6, 3-6). In 2021 Maria overcame four rounds. Moreover, the tournament grid from the first round was not easy. She had to play against Marta Kostiuk at the start (6-4, 6-3). This was followed by two fights against traditionally dangerous Czech tennis players Sinyakova (6-4, 6-2) and Kvitova (6-4, 6-3). The most difficult match for Maria was the 1/8 finals match with the US Open-2019 champion Bianca Andreescu. The tennis players exchanged the winning sets in tie-breaks and in the third game Sakkari had more strength (6-7, 7-6, 6-3). More tennis predictions today can be obtained from the link provided.
