US Open, Djokovic sweeps Muller and returns No. 1

The 36-year-old Serbian will now face Spain’s Zapata Miralles

Debut with flying colors for Djokovic at the US Open. The Serb è disposed, peremptorily, of Muller in the first round of the tournament. The Serb ruled the French tennis player in three sets: 6-0, 6-2, 6-3 the partials of a match in which Djokovic never gave his opponent a chance to get into the match.

A bombastic victory that is worth a lot for Djokovic who, however the tournament will go, è already certain to return No. 1 in the world. A goal the 36-year-old Serb has long coveted. Now, however, there'è to think about the US Open. In the second round, he will be up against Spaniard Zapata Miralles.

In the other matches, Tsitsipas’ victory should be noted: 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 over Raonic. Badly for Musetti who, after five sets, è surrendered to Droguet (6-3, 0-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-2). Scorching defeat also for Rune who, surprisingly, lost to Carballes Baena (6-3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2). Paolini’s run is also already over as she surrendered to Ostapenko (6-2, 4-6, 6-1 the match’s partials).
