Novak Djokovic (SRB) [4] against Radek Stepanek (CZE) [15] in a forth round match on Day 8 of the 2009 US Open.
The last time Novak Djokovic faced Radek Stepanek at the US Open, it turned out to be one of the most memorable encounters of 2007.
Djokovic fell behind in the second round before rallying to top the charismatic Czech in nearly five hours. Once the battle was over, the two exchanged a warm embrace at the net.
No such drama Monday night. Not even close.
Djokovic crushed Stepanek 6-1, 6-3, 6-3 in one hour, 46 minutes to reach the quarterfinals in New York for the third straight season. One more victory, against bulky Spaniard Fernando Verdasco, and he’s into a first Grand Slam semifinal of 2009.
