Djokovic wins smoothly, advances to U.S. Open quarterfinals. Novak Djokovic did not find any problems as he did in his previous match and eliminated Borna Gojo 6-2, 7-5, 6-4, from the qualifying tournament on Sunday night to reach the quarterfinals of the US Open. Djokovic, who won three of his 23 grand slam titles at Flushing Meadows, needed to overcome a two-set third-round deficit before eventually winning in five against Laslo Djere. This time Djokovic played much cleaner and was in control of the match all the way. He only committed 12 unforced errors, while Gojo suffered with 40. “Just happy to be able to go through in straight sets,” said tournament number two Djokovic, who is already assured of replacing world number one Carlos Alcaraz in the ATP rankings next week.
