Djokovic Presses On with 25th Slam Quest Facing Popyrin.

Novak Djokovic aims for his 25th Grand Slam singles title as he takes on Australia's Alexei Popyrin in the third round of the US Open on Friday.

The 37-year-old Serb, tied with Margaret Court for 24 major singles titles, will face the 28th seed in the evening session at 00:00 BST on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

This will be their third Grand Slam meeting this year, with Djokovic winning in four sets at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon.

"I'm pleased to win in four sets again," Djokovic said. "But he keeps getting closer and closer. He’s been playing great tennis, so he’ll be confident and aim for the win. I know what to expect and will prepare thoroughly."
