US Open 2025: Novak Djokovic’s Latest Win Adds New Layer To GOAT Case

Novak Djokovic is 38 years old and still defying time and continuing to write in the history of tennis. He also won the 2025 US Open against fourth seed Taylor Fritz in four sets (6-3, 7-5, 3-6, 6-4) and moves to the semifinals, where he will play Carlos Alcaraz. This win brought his perfect streak in his US Open quarterfinals to an incredible 14-0, the same number Jimmy Connors had all time in the US Open semi finals.

Nothing more impressive about this performance can be identified and the only thing that can be more impressive is the exceptional consistency of Djokovic in Grand Slams. He has become the oldest man in the Open Era to be an entrant in the semifinals of all four majors in the same season, which only adds to his already mythical reputation. Also, his winning streak over Fritz is 11-0.

Djokovic’s calmness and experience helped him navigate crunch moments despite the extreme pressure which he experienced during the match, saving several break points at the start and surviving a strong third set by Fritz. He had five break points in the first set and was treading water before turning it around with a well placed crosscourt winner to close the close second set. Fritz managed to counter in the third, but Djokovic defended the third and then claimed the match in the fourth, closing it with a match point as Fritz double faulted.
