Novak Djokovic: “I’m here. Let’s play.”
Novak Djokovic, the defending champion, reached the third round of the United States Open, but there were some concerns about his left shoulder, which needed treatment during his second-round match Wednesday.
The shoulder problem had bothered him for a couple of weeks, he said Wednesday, and it affected his serve and his two-handed backhand.
Djokovic arrived at the National Tennis Center only a few hours before his Friday night match against Denis Kudla was expected to begin.
