Novak Djokovic will aim for a fast start against fellow Serbian Laslo Djere on Wednesday as he steps up his bid for a record 25th Grand Slam singles title at the US Open.

Novak Djokovic revealed he had given himself an angry pep talk in the locker room after falling two sets behind.

World no. 1 Iga Swiatek raced through the first set against 43rd-ranked Riske in just 21 minutes and was 3-0 up in the second before the American avoided a 'double bagel'.

Australian Open 2021: Rafael Nadal, untroubled by the back injury that hampered his build-up, raced to a 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 victory against Laslo Djere.
