NOVAK DJOKOVIC and

semi-final collision course at

the US Open.

The Wimbledon finalists were

placed in the same half of the

draw last night, with top seed

Djokovic starting his campaign

against 76th-ranked Roberto

Carballes Baena next week.

The Serb, who saved two

match points in the All England

Club final to deny Federer a

record ninth title, then faces a

potential second-round clash

against American Sam Querrey.

Third seed Federer, who won

the last of his five Flushing

Meadows trophies in 2008, will

open against a qualifier as he

chases a 21st Grand Slam title.

Djokovic has a 26-22 head-

to-record record against

Federer and has won their last

four meetings.

They are 3-3 at Flushing

Meadows, with Djokovic

winning the last three times,

most recently in the 2015 final.

On the other side of the draw,

second seed Rafael Nadal will

open against Australian John

Millman, a quarter-finalist last

year after knocking out Federer

in the last 16.

The Spaniard, three-times a

champion in New York, could

run into 2014 champion Marin

Cilic in the fourth round.

Djokovic said at last night’s

draw that the Wimbledon final
