By NEW YORK – Novak Djokovic cleaned up his game after early mistakes to outlast ailing American qualifier Zachary Svajda 6-7(5) 6-3 6-3 6-1 in the second round of the US Open on Wednesday.
The maestro of Arthur Ashe Stadium held his racket up like a violin after closing out his 92nd win at the US Open with a satisfying overhead smash to keep his latest quest for a record 25th major title on track.
Svajda, playing in only his seventh major main draw match, put up a good fight before an apparent leg injury limited his movement.
