Novak Djokovic continues to rewrite history books with another major milestone at the ongoing US Open 2024 on Thursday, August 29. The Serbian legend advanced to the third round in the men’s singles after his opponent Laslo Djere withdrew due to an injury on Wednesday. 

Chasing his record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title, Djokovic has been off to a strong start in New York with two dominant wins in his first two matches. After being declared as a winner against Djere, the Paris Olympics 2024 gold medalist became the first tennis player to win 90 matches each in all four Grand Slams. 

The 37-year-old Djokovic also joined tennis legends Jimmy Connors, Chris Evert and Serena Williams in the elite list of players with 90 or more wins in singles in New York.
