FLUSHING MEADOWS, NY – We’re already into the second week, technically.

And so there are only four singles matches on the men’s side Sunday.

Four of them are American, and the winner of the Paul – Shelton match guarantees the Americans a quarterfinalist from the bottom half. It was Shelton.

How would Novak Djokovic recover from his late night, five-set marathon against countryman Djere? He faced a Croat, Gojo, he’s practiced with before. And he took care of business efficiently.
