Novak Djokovic beats Jerzy Janowicz: US Open - as it happened

Novak Djokovic beats Jerzy Janowicz 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, 6-1

It was a labored performance by Novak Djokovic (wrist, arm, didn’t want to be there...) and it was clear he was never 100%. BUT - all is forgiven as during the post-interview he begins to sing Phil Collins as he thanks the crowd for staying, probably the best part of the evening. Djokovic makes it 20-1 in night matches at the US Open. “I feel like when I step in here, in the dark tunnel,” he says after the game. “There is always a light.”
Perhaps he does want to be here.

Thanks for staying with us during the first night of the US Open. I’ll be back tomorrow as Andy Murray faces Lukas Rosol from the Czech Republic.
Have a great Tuesday.
