2024 US Open: Djokovic Starts Bid for Record 25th Major With Win Over Albot

Published

on

Novak Djokovic began his bid for a record 25th Grand Slam singles title with a straightforward win over Radu Albot in the US Open first round.

One more major would give Djokovic sole ownership of the all-time record for the most major singles titles. He is currently tied with Margaret Court on 24.

The 37-year-old won 6-2 6-2 6-4 in his first match since clinching Olympic gold 23 days ago.

Serbia’s Djokovic, who has swept up almost every title there is in tennis, described the triumph in Paris as his “biggest sporting achievement”.

However he is still searching for a first Grand Slam title this year, having won at least one every year since 2017.

Speaking before the match, defending champion Djokovic joked that he wanted to “avenge” his two younger brothers – Djordje and Marko – who both lost to Moldova’s Albot in the past.

“I feel like there was so much at stake – I feel like there was revenge for my younger brothers,” Djokovic, who had never faced Albot before, told ESPN afterwards.

He will face compatriot Laslo Djere in the second round on Wednesday (today).
