The Serbian lost his way a bit in the second set but rallied for a straightforward victory on Arthur Ashe Stadium that extended his extraordinary winning streak to 24 matches this year. For Djokovic, though, it was just all part of his make-up as a 17-times Grand Slam champion. “You care about winning a tennis match, obviously you’re a professional,” the top seed said on court after setting up a second-round meeting with Briton Kyle Edmund. “I know pressure is a privilege, pressure is part of what we do,” Djokovic added in a news conference. It actually fuels me to play even stronger, play even better, I think bring the right intensity every match.”
