After a five-set nailbiter in the previous round, Novak Djokovic was in no mood for another tense evening at the U.S. Open on Sunday and the Serb cruised into the last eight of the year's final Grand Slam with a 6-2 7-5 6-4 over Borna Gojo.
Djokovic had endured a far more testing match on Friday, having to come back from two-sets down against Laslo Djere to keep alive his bid for a fourth U.S. Open title that would see him match Margaret Court's record haul of 24 Grand Slams.
Djokovic committed just 12 unforced errors compared to 40 by the 105th ranked Croat, who was under constant pressure and had his serve broken five times before the second seed closed out the contest with his 12th ace. Fritz will head into the showdown as the only player yet to drop a set but still stinging from the 6-0 6-4 beating Djokovic laid on him in the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Open.
