Novak Djokovic's bid for a record 25th Grand Slam title will continue with a second round clash with compatriot Laslo Djere at the US Open.
Reigning US Open champion Djokovic began his defence of his title with a straight sets victory over Moldovan qualifier Radu Albot, whilst Djere prevailed in a five set thriller against German Jan-Lennard Struff in the first round.
This will be the second time in two years the two Serbians have faced each other at the US Open, with Djokovic fighting back from two sets down to win in five against Djere in the round of 32 in 2023.
Laslo Djere v Novak Djokovic will be shown as part of bet365's live streaming service, whilst Sky Sports Tennis & Sky Sports+ are also showing selected matches from the US Open.
Laslo Djere v Novak Djokovic is expected to get underway at approximately 16:00 BST on Wednesday 28th August 2024 at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Serbian compatriots Djokovic and Djere have played each other twice before on the ATP Tour, with the world number two coming out on top on both occasions.
Both matches were competitive affairs, however, especially last year's US Open round of 32 clash in which Djokovic had to fight back from two sets down to win in five.
