Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic relied on his experience in the US Open semi-finals on the 8th to win in straight games 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(4). Ben Shelton, a 20-year-old local player, has advanced to the US Open final for the tenth time in his career.
Shelton relied on his strong serve to make it difficult for his opponent to parry, but the 36-year-old second seed Djokovic used his experience to resist the American teenager’s rapid pursuit in the third set.
Djokovic’s opponent in the final will be the winner of the match between defending champion and top seed Carlos Alcaraz and third seed Daniil Medvedev.
Djokovic has confirmed that he will return to the world No. 1 ranking following the US Open. He will continue to chase his 24th Grand Slam title on the 10th to tie the record of Australian legend Margaret Court. The historical record of Grand Slam singles championship.
Shelton made a series of unforced errors in the sixth game of the first set, allowing Djokovic to break serve, and the wild card player failed to capitalize on his break opportunity in the ninth game.
In the second set, Shelton’s best weapon failed to function as he was broken by Djokovic on a double fault in the fifth game. And because a forehand went out of bounds in the seventh game, Djokovic broke serve once more, and Shelton dropped his racket in frustration.
This is Djokovic’s 47th Grand Slam semifinal, and Shelton’s first. The experience gap is obvious. Djokovic broke serve in the first game of the third set with a beautiful forehand winner.
But Sheldon came from behind and resolved the break point with an ace ball at a speed of 143 miles per hour in the fifth game, earning warm cheers from the home audience.
Shelton, who has only played 7 US Open singles matches, won a 30-shot back-and-forth in the 8th game and successfully cashed in on the break point, embarrassing Djokovic. This was the first time in Djokovic’s career in the US Net’s 100th singles event.
Djokovic broke serve once more in the 11th game, but might not avoid entering a tiebreaker in the third set. Djokovic hit the net in the 12th game, allowing Shelton to successfully break serve.
Djokovic forced a forehand error from Shelton late in the match and imitated the American’s favorite hang-up celebration as he headed to the net.
