Djokovic took two hours and 15 minutes to overcome Rune in front of the crowd at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Notably, teenager Rune suffered from cramps in the final two sets. After his win, Djokovic took to Twitter and said: "Much respect to Holger. We'll see you back here again my friend I'm sure of it @usopen #USOpen."

Cramps
Cramping lets down Rune as Djokovic lauds him

Rune was visited by the trainer on multiple occasions in the final two sets as he received treatment on his upper legs for apparent cramping. "Unfortunately, my fitness let me down. I started cramping already at the beginning of the third set. From there on, it was tough," Rune said. Djokovic lauded Rune for going with dignity and finishing off the match.

Djokovic served 17 aces in the match but also committed seven double faults. He converted eight of the 14 breakpoints. He won 111 points and sealed seven games in a row. Djokovic won 70 service points as compared to Rune's 52.

Zverev, who could face Djokovic in the semis, said he is going to try and provide a challenge. He also said about keeping the level up to beat the Djoker.
