Sources have stated that Novak Djokovic’s opponent in the US Open semifinals, Gael Monfils, might just want to hole up somewhere safe until it’s time to walk out on the court in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Friday afternoon.
It is stated that the defending champion and No. 1 seed has enjoyed an unprecedentedly easy path to the final four at Flushing Meadows, needing to complete only two of five matches because of injuries to three foes.
And after a three-set victory in the fourth round, Djokovic only needed to play two sets plus one point in the quarterfinals before Jo-Wilfried Tsonga called it a night because of a problem with his left knee.
When Djokovic has completed his career Grand Slam at the French Open in June, it also has given him four major trophies in a row, something last has accomplished nearly 50 years ago and his streak was stopped by a third-round loss at Wimbledon.
