World number two Novak Djokovic easily advanced to the second round of the US Open after defeating Radu Albot from Moldova in straight sets, 6–2, 6–2, 6–4.
Although the third set became slightly more exciting than the first two, it was never in doubt. The 37-year-old only lost his serve once, in the second set. But he saved it by breaking back in the game.
The Serb, who won gold in the Olympic Games in Paris, is chasing his 25th Grand Slam title, a milestone that no other player has achieved in modern tennis history.
