The US Open Championship is the second major tournament of the 2020 season, as the Roland Garros was postponed and Wimbledon Championships cancelled, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It will be Novak’s 15th appearance in New York, where he lifted the trophy in 2011, 2015 and 2018. Last year, Djokovic retired from his fourth-round match against Stan Wawrinka with a shoulder injury.
