“They’re the most important historical tennis events we have, so if you don’t get pumped and inspired to play your best tennis at Grand Slams, it’s hard to do that anywhere else. … Night sessions at the U.S. Open are very famous.

Djokovic tore his right meniscus in June at the French Open, but came back in a brace to reach the Wimbledon final, where he fell to Alcaraz. But she had a teary exit at Wimbledon, is just 1-2 since Paris and lost her opener at the Cincinnati Open.
