Novak Djokovic hasn’t been able to compete in US tournaments in recent years (he refused a Covid-19 vaccination), but the Serb is now at the Cincinnati Masters and American fans have flocked to see him.

Nole’s last match in the United States was in the final of the 2021 US Open, where he was decisively defeated by Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

Taken straight into the second round of the Cincinnati Masters, Nole filled the arena during his first practice session on American soil.
