Djokovic eliminates Blake in straight sets at Open

NOVAK Djokovic reached the US Open's fourth round for the fourth consecutive year, eliminating American wild card James Blake in straight sets.

The third-seeded Djokovic beat Blake 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-3 yesterday. Serbia's Djokovic made only 13 unforced errors - 18 fewer than Blake.

In the fourth round, Djokovic will face another American, 19th-seeded Mardy Fish. Djokovic was the US Open runner-up in 2007, and made it to the semifinals in 2008 and 2009 - losing to Roger Federer every time.

Blake is a two-time quarterfinalist at Flushing Meadows, but not since 2006. Once ranked in the top five, the 30-year-old Blake is now 108th after a series of injuries and poor results.
