Focused, flawless and relentless play has Serbian star on the brink of tennis history at Flushing Meadows

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Ask other tennis players what makes Novak Djokovic great, what has pushed him to the brink of the first calendar-year Grand Slam by a man in more than a half-century, and the responses might include a mention of the way he returns serves or his ability to cover the court or his two-handed backhand.

∗ Jessica Pegula: “I don’t see any weaknesses. We’ve seen him cruise through tournaments. We’ve seen him come from behind and get himself out of situations. He seems to conserve his energy and know when to turn it up.”The latest to stand across the net from Djokovic was No. 6 seed Matteo Berrettini of Italy in the U.S. Open quarter-finals.

It brought to mind what former player Andy Roddick, the 2003 U.S. Open champion who went 5-4 against Djokovic from 2007-12 when their careers overlapped, tweeted a couple of days earlier: “First he takes your legs ……. Then he takes your soul.”“A little bit of both. Even if you see him get flustered, he can get … in his zone. That’s something that, over time, he’s created. You feel that from the other side of the net,” Berrettini said.

“I feel like I was the first player to beat him in a very big match this year. That does give you something,” said Zverev, who lost in the 2020 U.S. Open final to Dominic Thiem.

How to make remote work fair for everyoneAs businesses bring people back into the office, many are offering a hybrid model that allows employees to come into the office some days, and work from home on others. As Report on Business columnist Rita Trichur explains, this could be a double-edges sword for many women. It allows them to better balance work and the caregiving that disproportionately falls to women, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. But if old mindsets about putting in face time at the office persist, it could also hurt their career advancement.
