(New York) Novak Djokovic, looking for a 24e Grand Slam title to equal Margaret Court’s all-time record, qualified for her thirteenth semi-final at Flushing Meadows on Tuesday at the expense of American Taylor Fritz (9e) 6-1, 6-4, 6-4.

At 36, the Serb will try on Friday to reach the final of the New York Major, which he has won three times, by facing another American, the winner of the match between Frances Tiafoe (10e), semi-finalist last year, and Ben Shelton (47e).
