Cameron Norrie reaches US Open third round to face Novak Djokovic

Cameron Norrie secured a hard-fought four-set victory over Argentina's Francisco Comesana at the US Open, advancing to the third round where he will face Novak Djokovic. Norrie won 7-6 (5), 6-3, 6-7 (0), 7-6 (4) in a match lasting nearly four hours, showcasing resilience by saving set points and closing the match with powerful serves in the final tiebreak. Despite a strong start, Norrie faced a tough battle as Comesana pushed him to the limit, even forcing a third-set tiebreak, but Norrie's composure prevailed. Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion who has dominated their previous encounters, appeared sluggish in his recent matches, struggling through a four-set win over qualifier Zachary Svajda and expressing frustration with his performance. This contrasts with Norrie's consistent form this year, including deep runs at the French Open and Wimbledon. The upcoming match between Norrie and Djokovic at the US Open sets up an intriguing contest, with Norrie hopeful given Djokovic's recent struggles.
