Djokovic survives Flushing Meadows scare

Novak Djokovic came back from the brink of defeat to book his place in the second round of the US Open at Flushing Meadows today.

Djokovic trailed two sets to one and saved a break point in the fourth set to avoid going a double-break down before rallying to beat Serbian Davis Cup team-mate Viktor Troicki 6-3 3-6 2-6 7-5 6-3 in three hours 40 minutes.
