Djokovic did drop the ball in the first set, but that was more like a warmup set. He became unbeatable once his racket became hot. Djokovic is going to be a heavy favorite going into US open. Still, 2 months left for it, but I am pretty sure it will be 22nd grand slam for him!!
for now, there is very little chance that Djokovic will win the US Open. he won't even participate.
Due to anti covid rules by the US government, no one who has not been vaccinated can come to the US. Djokovic didn't, and he cannot travel to the US. he already missed some tournaments in that territory.
This is big shocking news for me and many others those were looking for some entertaining game from Djokovic in US Open, and I was feeling this is going to be tough challenge between these two again as hopefully Nadal could be also set and have his best time in US Open but with this Covid19 rules if he is going to lose this could be surely a big mess-up.
Because, I was feeling now mostly restrictions are ended and peoples can go freely anywhere, but recent new wave of this pandemic is again going to ruin the things which are providing good entertainment for many decades.
Hopefully we will have something positive about this in coming days, which is important for all of us, even new wave is coming very frequently.
