Where & how to watch Novak Djokovic vs Learner Tien, US Open 2025 first-round match?

Novak Djokovic is set for his first-ever clash against Learner Tien on US Open return.

Novak Djokovic will return to action for the first time since his Wimbledon semi-final defeat as he begins his US Open 2025 campaign against rising American talent Learner Tien on Sunday (August 24) at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows. Find the Novak Djokovic vs Learner Tien live details below.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion skipped all the warm-up tournaments leading to New York, choosing to save his energy for the season’s final major.

Infact, Djokovic has made it clear that at this stage of his career, his focus is solely on the Grand Slams events, as he is still in the hunt for a record-extending 25th major title.

Earlier this week, Djokovic paired with fellow Serbian Olga Danilovic in the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship but suffered a first-round exit at the hands of Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva.

The 38-year-old already holds the record for the most men’s singles Grand Slam titles. However, a victory at the Flushing Meadows would take him to 25 majors overall—moving him past Margaret Court’s joint record of 24 titles and establishing him as the greatest player in all tennis history.

Speaking of his next rival Learner Tien, the 19-year-old American is currently ranked 50 in the world. Though he has yet to win an ATP title, Tien has already earned the tag of being a giant-killer. In his short career so far, he has clinched four victories over top-10 opponents.

Learner made his Grand Slam debut earlier this year at the 2025 Australian Open, where he stunned then-world No. 5 Daniil Medvedev and Olympic champion Alexander Zverev on his way to the fourth round—his best major performance so far.

This will be the first career meeting between Djokovic and Tien on court, promising a thrilling battle between experience and youth.
