US Open: Djokovic Overcomes Tien In Straight Sets In Opener

By IANS News August 25, 2025 • 09:54 AM View: 280

US Open: In his first competitive outing since Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic saw off a challenging opening-round test presented by Learner Tien to advance at the 2025 US Open.

Djokovic navigated fluctuations in his own physical level and held off the increasingly confident teenager to prevail, 6-1, 7-6(3), 6-2.

The 24-time- major winner called ATP physio Clay Sniteman to court after the second set to re-apply tape to a bloodied big toe on his right foot.
