Novak Djokovic's US Open Win Hints at Historic Triumph

Novak Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, kicked off his US Open with a professional win which hinted at yet another piece of history to be written in his formidable career. While the Serb admitted some serve issues and raised his alarm for not being at his best rhythm, Djokovic kept battling against Radu Albot from Moldova, and let us see he is still a class above everything else on a hard court setting in New York.

It was Djokovic’s first match on a hard court after Indian Wells, and the rock-hard surface witnessed the defending champion breezing through his opponent this year as well, 6-2, 2-1 after two hours and four minutes of high-quality tennis. Djokovic kept Albot within sight and although he was once broken and had to save a couple of break points, Nole’s shot-making from the back of the court can only give support to everyone who believes he is prepared for any challenges at this year’s US Open.

After the amazing victory at the Olympic Games in Paris, Djokovic beamed with confidence as he was never so close to gold before, and that triumph only added freedom and satisfaction to an already inspiring chase for success. Winning the US Open 2021 this time is not only about defending the title; it’s about neatening the number of 25 Grand Slam singles which is a number no other player ever reached in history.

According to predictions of speculative experts, or some former players turned into bettors, the main opponents for the men’s title are Djokovic, Alcaraz, and Sinner. Undoubtedly, Djokovic’s next encounter at this year’s US Open will be tough; he will face a compatriot, Laslo Djere, who isn’t far from Nole with his tennis skills, as their meetings often showcased in recent seasons. Nevertheless, considering their form and Serb’s experience, it’s likely Djokovic will advance to the next round.

In the women’s category, the performance isn’t easy to predict as the surface at the US Open developed the traveling tendencies, according to Sberbank betting experts. Aryna Sabalenka, Gauff, and Anisimova are at the top of the list in this commentary. Hopefully, their muscles can adapt to the hard surface travel requirements in time, as it appears to produce an impact on the results delivered by the female players.

Djokovic’s chase for his 25th Grand Slam title at 2021 US Open is not only a big thing for him. It is a great thing for tennis, as it adds more drama to the domination of the Serbian player over the past decade. This trajectory leaves us thinking about the future of the game and what is going to be the aftermath days after the 34-year-old retire. It also extends Jo’s legacy to an already godly level he only added with victory at the Olympic Games days ago. No matter what happens next, as the US Open unfolds as these words are being written, Djokovic will remain an opponent to anyone who has ever played and is going to play this game, and deliver more proof of the immortality of human talents on the tennis court.
