Novak Djokovic [2] beats Bernabe Zapata Miralles 6-4 6-1 6-1!
Djokovic is through to the round of 32 after a straightforward win over Zapata Miralles in two hours flat on Ashe. The first set was a tight phyiscal affair with only the one break to separate them, but Djokovic’s pressure overwhelmed the Spaniard from there. The 23-time major champion advances to an all-Serbian third-rounder on Friday against the No 32 seed Laslo Djere. It will be their first all-time meeting.
“[The crowd] is what gives me strength,” Djokovic says in his on-court interview. “That’s what gives me motivation at 36 years of age, 20 years of coming to New York. I still have the hunger, I still have the desire to play my best tennis on this court.”
