The number one tennis player in the world, the Serbian Novak Djokovic , maintained his triumphant streak at the US Open by beating 6-3, 6-4 and 6-2 to the American Denis Kudla, number 111 of the ranking.

Djokovic, who defends the champion's title, hardly needed two hours and three minutes to secure the pass to the fourth round and be in the second week of the United States Open for the twelfth time in the 14 appearances he has had in the last tournament of Grand Slam, which has already won three times.

His rival in the fourth round will be the Swiss Stan Wawrinka , the executioner who prevented him from winning the title of champion in the 2016 final, losing 6-7 (1), 6-4, 7-7 and 6-3.

Wawrinka, seeded number 22, has been going more and more with his tennis since the Open began and won the Italian Paolo Lorenzi 6-4, 7-6 (9) and 7-6 (4).

The duel between Djokovic, 31, and Wawrinka will be the twenty-fifth since both are on the ATP circuit, with a 19-5 advantage for the Serbian tennis player in the previous 24 , but the last one was precisely the end of 2016 , which fell on the side of the Swiss player.

Djokovic, who had faced Kudla for the first time in the second round of last Wimbledon, where he also won 6-3, 6-2 and 6-2, always had control of the match, played at the Arthur Ashe center court, to get 34 winning strokes for 31 losers and made 15 points in 20 uploads to the net.

The world number one did not have its best night with the service by placing six direct serves for eight double faults, but did not need it before an opponent who never found an answer to his best tennis from the bottom of the court , with devastating blows from right and vice versa.

In other results of the day, the Swiss Roger Federer , third head of the series also achieved the pass to the fourth round and the second week of the Open after beating easily 6-2, 6-2 and 6-1 to the English Daniel Evans , which contributed nothing on the track.

The rival of Federer in the fourth round will be the Belgian David Goffin , fifteenth head of the series, executioner of the Spanish Pablo Carreño , who defeated 7-6 (5), 7-6 (9) and 7-5, in a match which lasted two hours and 45 minutes and left the series between the two players as professionals in 1-1.

The young Australian Alex de Minaur was responsible for giving the first surprise of the day by eliminating the Japanese Kei Nishikori , seventh favorite, and former finalist of the Open in 2014. He beat him in four sets by 6-2, 6-4, 2 -6 and 6-3.

The 20-year-old and 38-year-old Munair rival of the world, who first reached the fourth round in the participations he has been in the Open, will be the veteran Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov , 28 and 78 of the world, who won 7 -5, 7-6 (8) and 6-2 before the Polish debutant Kamil Majchrzak .

For his part, the Russian Daniil Medvedev , fifth seeded, confirmed his status as a candidate for the title by beating the Spaniard Feliciano López , who beat in four sets by 7-6 (1), 4-6, 7-6 ( 9) and 6-4.

The match between Medvedev and López, played on the Louis Armstrong track, full, and with an audience completely delivered to the great tennis player Toledo, closed the fifth day of the Open and was also the best and with the most brilliant and spectacular tennis.

Although Lopez, number 61 in the world, was eliminated for the seventh time in the third round of the Open, which has played 18 times, left his age the best tennis and only the great moment and the class that has Medvedev prevented him from being in the second Week of the last Grand Slam tournament of the season.
