US Open: Weather Could Be Djokovic’s Biggest Obstacle, Says Rick Macci

Veteran coach Rick Macci believes Novak Djokovic’s biggest challenge at the US Open may be coping with the heat and humidity rather than facing rivals such as Carlos Alcaraz. Macci said Djokovic has a strong chance of winning a record 25th Grand Slam title if his body can withstand the demands of a two-week tournament. He noted that favourable seeding changes and the absence of some leading contenders could ease Djokovic’s route. According to Macci, hot and humid conditions in New York could be especially difficult for the Serbian star. Djokovic has shown he can endure long matches, but producing that level repeatedly could prove challenging.
