Djokovic cruises into U.S. Open quarters
Tennis Betting Lines
09/06/2010 - Flushing Meadows, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Former runner-up Novak Djokovic handled American Mardy Fish on Monday to reach the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open.
The third-seeded Djokovic drubbed a lethargic 19th-seeded Fish in surgeon-like 6-3, 6-4, 6-1 fashion at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Fish, who labored here on Labor Day, had won 18 of his previous 20 matches, including a pair of titles and a runner-up finish against Roger Federer at an ATP Masters/U.S. Open Series tournament in Cincinnati.
Djokovic moved on in 1 hour, 50 minutes by piling up six service breaks against the typically-big-serving Fish.
The 23-year-old Djokovic will compete in his fourth straight U.S. Open quarterfinal. The steady Serb reached at least the semifinals in his previous three trips to New York, and has reached at least the quarters in 13 of his last 15 Grand Slam events overall.
Djokovic is a former Australian Open titlist and lost to Roger Federer in the 2007 U.S. Open finale. He'll face acrobatic Frenchman Gael Monfils in the quarters on Wednesday.
The enigmatic Monfils reached his third career, and first-ever U.S. Open, quarterfinal with a hard-fought and entertaining 6-4, 7-5, 7-5 victory over compatriot Richard Gasquet. The 17th-seeded Monfils advanced in 2 hours, 35 minutes by firing 14 aces and breaking Gasquet's serve five times in a match between two of the most talented players on the ATP World Tour.
