Preview
Taylor Fritz powered past Tomas Machac 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 to reach his third consecutive US Open quarter-final, firing 14 aces and not facing a single break point in a commanding display.
The fourth seed, who reached the Wimbledon semi-finals earlier this year, needed just one hour and 38 minutes to secure his 20th career win at the tournament, showing sharp baseline play and aggressive shot-making throughout.
After falling to Jannik Sinner in last year’s final, the American is aiming for another deep run as he shoulders his nation’s hopes of ending a 22-year Grand Slam drought.
However, Fritz has his task cut out as he aims to end a stunning record of 24-time Grand Slam Novak Djokovic.
The Serbian is yet to lose to Fritz, having won 10 times. Hard or clay, Djokovic has hammered the American on every court, including US Open 2023’s QF, a re-match of the same contest this year. While the 2024 runner-up will have the support of the home crowd, this will be their first exchange this year, having met last in the Shanghai semi-finals.

Match Prediction
It is easy to get carried away by Djokovic’s stellar record over Fritz historically. However, the Serbian is at the fag end of his career now and has opted for medical timeouts in each of his four rounds at the Flushing Meadows so far. Fritz has only gone from strength to strength and is playing some of the best tennis of his life.
Djokovic has made the last four of every Grand Slam event in 2025, losing to Sinner only (alongside withdrawing midway against Zverev). While fritz’s ominous serving makes life challenging for his rivals, his game is largely one-dimensional, which is a huge reason why the Serbian has dominated this rivalry to such an extent.

Should the 38-year-old manage to stay fit and create dents on Fritz’s serving games, he is likely to continue to stay alive and take down a big fish in the fourth seed.
However, this 11th meeting could be the closest in their rivalry, as struggles for the 4-time US Open champion with his body continue.
Result: Novak Djokovic to win in four sets.
