World No.1 Novak Djokovic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/] extended his unbeaten 2020 streak to 26-0 as he beat Jan-Lennard Struff in the 3rd round of the 2020 US Open. A routine straight-sets victory for the Serbian as he continued his phenomenal run. Novak Djokovic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/flashback-cincinnati-novak-djokovic-edges-milos-raonic-to-stay-on-roger-federer-s.jpg] NOVAK DJOKOVIC REACHES 600 VICTORIES ON THE HARDCOURT The 3rd round victory gave the World No.1 his 600th hard court victory. A monumental milestone [https://www.ultimatetennisstatistics.com/statsLeaders] as Djokovic becomes the second player to have more than 600 victories on the hardcourt with the other one being Roger Federer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer]. Federer leads the tally with 775 wins. Djokovic is now third in the list of most wins on a single surface. As mentioned above Federer leads with 775 followed by Guillermo Vilas who has 670 wins on clay. Another milestone that Djokovic reached is 150 victories in the hardcourt Grand Slam tournaments. The Australian Open and the US Open are the hardcourt Grand Slam tournament and so Djokovic has won 75 matches in each of them. His tally of 150 is second only to Federer who is quite a bit ahead at 192. In the overall Grand Slam win tally, Federer is ahead at 362. Djokovic is behind him at 290 closely followed by Rafael Nadal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/] with 275. In a few week’s time, Djokovic could cross the 300 Grand Slam victories mark at the French Open and become the 2nd player in history to do so. Djokovic will next play 20th seed, Pablo Carreño Busta in the 4th round. Like with most players on tour, Djokovic enjoys a one-sided head to head with the Spaniard. He leads 3-0 with their last meeting happening in the 2019 Western & Southern Open. Pablo has taken just one set against the Serbian in the three matches they have played against each other. Players’ Association With WTA Stars [http://www.essentiallysports.com/ive-spoken-to-serena-williams-novak-djokovic-discusses-new-players-association-with-wta-stars-atp-tennis-news/] Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Roger-Novak.jpg] As Djokovic chases Federer in the Grand Slam tally he is inching towards the Swiss master in other records. Djokovic is in his 284th weeks as World No.1. Federer again holds the record for the most weeks at the helm with 310. In a few month’s time, Djokovic could cross that landmark as well. 

Novak Djokovic continued his brilliant run in 2020 as he reached two big
milestones with his latest victory in the US Open 2020.

<h2 class="p3">Is the 2020 US Open Cancelled?</h2>
The 2020 edition of the tournament will be held under the blanket of coronavirus pandemic. The event issued no statements about canceling it. USTA has been stern with their decision to go ahead with the tournament, also New York's mayor has announced US Open will take place.

The only major change this year will be, the event will take place behind closed doors, i.e., the audience will not be allowed in the sporting arena. Also, the players have to abide by strict rules and regulations laid down by the organizing committee.

<h2 class="p3">Will the US Open be held in 2020?</h2>
Yes, it will be held as per the schedule. However, there are chances that the event might be called off at the end moment if New York's mayor announces the situations are unplayable.

<h2 class="p3">US Open 2020 defending champions </h2>
In the men’s domain World Number two <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rafael-nadal/">Rafael Nadal</a> is the defending champion, but he might not present at the tournament since he has committed to play Madrid Open, which starts one day after the conclusion of the US Open.

The Brit-American pair Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jamie Murray held the US Open crown in 2019 in the mixed doubles category.

<h2 class="p3">Where would the 2020 US Open be held?</h2>
As usual, the tournament will be held at Flushing Meadows, also this year <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/western-and-southern-open-2019/">Cincinnati Open</a> will be held on the same site a week before the commencement of the US Open.
