Novak Djokovic insisted an unbeaten season is not his number one priority after extending his 2020 winning streak to 24 matches with a straight sets win over Damir Dzumhur at the US Open.

The top seed shrugged off some minor resistance in the second set to overcome his close friend 6-1 6-4 6-1 and book his place in the second round where he will face British number two Kyle Edmund.
