Former World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will lock horns with qualifier Borna Gojo in the fourth round of the 2023 US Open on Sunday.
Djokovic barely broke a sweat over the course of his routine wins over Alexandre Muller and Bernabe Zapata Miralles to reach the third round. He faced fellow Serb Laslo Djere for a spot in the next round.
Djere came out the gates swinging and bagged the first two sets to race ahead. However, one can't out Djokovic in such situations, and the 36-year-old staged yet another comeback to score a 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 win.
This was the eighth time in his career that the Serb rallied from a two-set deficit to claw his way back to victory. With the win, his hopes of lifting a 24th Major crown still remain intact.
