Novak's Dozen: Djokovic Reaches US Open Fourth Round For 12th Time

Top-seeded Serbian Novak Djokovic produced his best match of the week against American Denis Kudla on Friday at the US Open, hitting plenty of flashy winners under the lights to reach the fourth round with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win.

Djokovic improved to 2-0 in his FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry with Kudla. He also earned his 72nd victory in New York, moving past Pete Sampras and into fifth place for most US Open match wins in the Open Era.

Awaiting Djokovic is a blockbuster showdown with former US Open champion and No. 23 seed Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland, who prevailed in straight sets earlier in the day over Italian Paolo Lorenzi. The Serbian leads their FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry 19-5 and prevailed in two of their three New York showdowns. However, Wawrinka won their most recent battle in the 2016 US Open final.
