Novak Djokovic feels coming back from two sets down to defeat Laslo Djere and reach the fourth round of the US Open sends a ‘strong message’ to his future opponents that he has no problems playing long into the night. Despite being 36 years of age, Djokovic remains at the pique of his powers having won two Grand Slam titles this year.<\/p>\n

The fact that he’s Carlos Alcaraz’s closest rival, despite the 16-year age gap between the two, speaks volumes for Djokovic’s longevity. There will come a moment when Father Time catches up with the Serbian tennis icon.<\/p>\n

That looked to be happening in the early stages of his third-round match against Djere, who raced to a two-set lead against the No 2 seed. But Djokovic pulled off a miraculous recovery to win in five sets and progress to the next round.<\/p>\n

The 23-time Grand Slam champion has been last on Arthur Ashe Stadium all week, but his previous two matches were wrapped up in two hours or less. Against Djere, he needed close to four hours to get the job done and finished late into the night.<\/p>\n

Djokovic hopes he doesn’t have to go through that again in the coming rounds as he bids to reach the US Open final for a 10th time. However, he acknowledges that his comeback victory at this stage of the tournament will send a message to those still in the draw.<\/p>\n

“Well, look, of course winning a match is always better than losing a match. It’s as simple as that,” he said. “I think the message is sent to the rest of the field that obviously I’m still able to play five sets deep at night.<\/p>\n

“Coming from two sets down always sends a strong message to the future opponents. At the same time I’m not really wanting to be in this position, to be honest.<\/p>\n

“I prefer a straight-set win. Hopefully I can get back on that track in the next match.”<\/p>\n

Djokovic should face an easier test in the fourth round as he comes up against qualifier Borna Gojo. The Croatian tennis ace is playing in the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n
