Djokovic, who opens his campaign on Monday against France’s Alexander Muller on the Arthur Ashe Main, says he is enjoying his return to what has been described as the most “electric” atmosphere in tennis.
“The first feeling I have is excitement to be back because this is the biggest ground in our sport, the biggest stadium, and certainly the most fun, electric, exciting atmosphere in tennis, night session at Arthur Ashe Playing, no doubt about it,” Djokovic said.
“Get back in front of possibly the loudest fans in the game, the tennis fans in the game.”
In Djokovic’s absence in 2022, Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz has emerged to claim the US Open crown.
Since then, Djokovic and Alcaraz have developed a fierce rivalry, with the Spaniard winning a five-set classic in last month’s Wimbledon final before Djokovic bounced back with an emphatic victory in last weekend’s Cincinnati Open final.
