Novak Djokovic was full of praise for his opponent Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune after his successful first day at the US Open 2021. The 18-year-old Dane is a star of the future and will definitely make his way. However, this US Open should be the coronation mass for Djokovic. And that's why the industry leader with the teenager was merciless with the exception of a weak phase in the second sentence. Djokovic won 6: 1, 6: 7 (5), 6: 2 and 6: 1. The next opponent is the Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor, who was able to assert himself against Jan-Lennard Struff in five sets.
