translated from Spanish: Novak Djokovic warns: “I’ll be ready for the big duel with Wawrinka”

US Open defending novak Djokovic prepares for the big duel with Wawrinka, having left Denis Kudla 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 on the way, and warned that the pains in his left shoulder were forgotten.” I know how complicated it will be to face Stan again, given that we know each other very well and how he fights on the field. I am aware that to overcome it I will have to get to the match in my best form,” he slipped at the post-party press conference.
Recalling his past with Wawrinka, the world number one stated, “We had some great battles over the years everywhere, but particularly here,” said Djokovic, who reached the fourth round of the US Open in 14 appearances for the 12th time.” I lost to him the last time we played on this court, in the final in 2016 and that’s something I’ll always remember. I’m also aware that he has three Grand Slam titles in his having, so he’s a rival who can beat anyone, no matter the track,” he said. Finally, he closed the chapter of the shoulder ailments, which were not present to Kudla: “The reality is that during the match I had no discomfort and that was another of the positive things of the night.”
