The celebration said it all.

Djokovic, who was troubled by an upper arm injury in his four-set victory over Jerzy Janowicz in the first round, has had two walkovers because of injuries to his opponents and completed just six games in the last two rounds.
“You’ll have to ask him that, if he feels rusty”, Edmund told a press conference. Playing the world No1 is always going to be tough.
“He consistently plays well”. That’s a really good thing. He’s there rightfully so, very consistent at a high level.
You got the feeling that Djokovic wanted to send out a message on Sunday night, not only with his tennis but with his demeanour and his consciously upbeat comments. He may be a bit fresher.
His next match promised to be even more challenging, bringing another tall big-hitting young player tipped for the top.
Novak Djokovic moved into a remarkable 10th successive US Open quarter final with an entertaining straight sets victory over Britain’s Kyle Edmund.
With Edmund possessing one particularly huge weapon, Croft says the 21-year-old could surprise some people when he takes to the court in the final match on Arthur Ashe tonight – live and exclusive on Eurosport. “I am sure we going to see more of him in the future”. “On that stage, as well, in front of a good crowd, a big crowd, against John in his own country, I was pleased with the performance I put out there”. I need to continue to do that.
Wozniacki is a two-time runner-up at Flushing Meadows, but she is unseeded and ranked only 74th after a season filled with injuries and poor results. “That’s what’s been working, so there’s no point in changing it”.
“Just enjoyed the experience”, the South African-born Briton said.
“I do know her and I have been on court with her”, Konta said. It provided for some early-round dramatics as Americans John Isner and Steve Johnson launched come-from-behind wins there. This was an attritional battle that went two hours, 44 minutes. Double US Open victor Nadal drew within 4-3 but a forehand victor by Pouille made it 6-3 for triple match point. I think I played well in the tie-break. On the other hand, we might be over-rating Edmund’s value as a yardstick.
Spaniard Rafael Nadal has still yet to drop a set as he maintained his 100 per cent record at the tournament thus far, beating Russia’s Andrey Kuznetsov 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 to book his place in round four. You’ve got to capitalise when they come.
Much uncertainty has surrounded Djokovic here but there did not appear to be much wavering this time, bar one visit from the trainer for a cautionary rub.
Nevertheless, Edmund is set to reach the edge of the top 50 on the back of his results in NY and he carries great momentum into Britain’s Davis Cup semi-final against Argentina later this month.

But those achievements have nothing on his dream run here.
