Tennis

NEW YORK — Novak Djokovic is through to the third round at the U.S. Open and will use some of the time until then getting more treatment on his left shoulder.

Djokovic fought through trouble with the shoulder to beat Juan Ignacio Londero 6-4, 7-6 (3), 6-1.

The defending champion was treated by the trainer multiple times in the match and appeared in trouble when he fell behind 3-0 in the second set.

But he battled back to take it in a tiebreaker and had an easy time in the third set.

The No. 1 seed wouldn’t reveal much about the nature of the injury in his post-match interview.
