Before the match, British number two Norrie said he was “ready for anything” from seventh seed Djokovic – including seeing his opponent struggle with fitness issues before regaining his level.<\/p>\n

However, the world number 35 was still not able to drag Djokovic into gruelling physical exchanges as he hoped.<\/p>\n

Norrie briefly threatened to cause a shock when he moved a break up early in the third set.<\/p>\n

But Djokovic instantly hit back – helped by his opponent hitting a double fault on break point – before regaining control with a precise serving game which Norrie largely failed to trouble.<\/p>\n

Djokovic became the oldest man to reach US Open fourth round since Jimmy Connors, who was also aged 38, in 1991.<\/p>\n

“I’m still trying to find my groove. Today I played the best I have so far in the tournament,” Djokovic said.<\/p>\n

On his fitness, he added: “You have some ups and downs but you don’t want to reveal too much to your rivals. I’m as young and as strong as ever.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
