NEW YORK -- The victory came on clay, and it came 4 1/2 months ago.It also came at a time when Novak Djokovic seemed virtually unbeatable -- something that doesnt seem so certain now.When Jiri Vesely upset the worlds No. 1 player in Monte Carlo in April, Djokovic hadnt lost a completed match since November.Vesely had never beaten a top-10 foe before defeating Djokovic 6-4, 2-6, 6-4. Afterward, Vesely said he didnt believe he could win -- until he saw how Djokovic was playing.Novak wasnt at his best level, thats for sure, and he made a lot of mistakes from the beginning, Vesely said that day. Thats what gave me a little bit more confidence.Coming into the players rematch in the second round at the U.S. Open on Wednesday, Djokovic hasnt been at his best recently. He lost in the third round at Wimbledon, then after a title in Toronto, fell in the first round at the Olympics, bothered by a left wrist injury.In the first round at Flushing Meadows on Monday, Djokovic received treatment on his right arm early in a four-set victory over Jerzy Janowicz. He repeatedly winced and shook out the arm, his serves far slower than usual.After dropping a set in his opening match at a major for the first time since 2010, Djokovic didnt want to talk about what was going on with his arm.Asked about playing an opponent who defeated him in their only meeting, he ticked off all the reasons that might not be relevant: Different surface, different circumstances, best-of-five.Obviously he hasnt played many times on the Arthur Ashe Stadium, Djokovic added. If you get to play there, its quite different.Vesely, 23, is currently ranked 49th. Hes coming off his best performance at a major, a run to the round of 16 at Wimbledon that included another win over a top-10 player in Dominic Thiem.Djokovics scouting report on the 6-foot-6 Vesely: Big game, a big serve, big forehand, and moves well for his size.But big serves are usually swallowed up by Djokovics stellar return game -- and he believes the roof structure on Ashe that cuts down wind aids him even more.Conditions are quite suitable to my style of the game, he said. Hopefully Ill be able to slow his serve down a little bit and then take it from there.Other matches to watch on Day 3 of the U.S. Open, when the second round begins:ALL-AMERICANSThe last two matches on the Grandstand will feature two U.S. women facing each other.Eighth-seeded Madison Keys meets 16-year-old Kayla Day, the youngest player in the draw. Day, ranked 374th, got into the tournament as the winner of the USTA Girls 18s National Championships. She was leading 6-2, 4-2 in the first round when her opponent, Madison Brengle, retired with an arm injury. Brengle, at No. 50 in the world, had been the highest-ranked opponent Day has faced in her young career.Day followed in the path of CiCi Bellis, who as a 15-year-old in 2014 won the same national title and reached the second round at the U.S. Open. Now 17 and a qualifier, Bellis faces 49th-ranked Shelby Rogers on Tuesday.

He beat 10 rivals in the $2 million Juvenile over 1 1/16 miles Saturday at Santa Anita.Not This Time, whod won his two previous starts by a combined 18 3/4 lengths and was the 5-2 favorite, did nothing Saturday to dash the enthusiasm of his rider, Robby Albarado.Im still high on him, he said.

This is only his fourth start, so theres a lot of room there.Not This Time still has a lot to learn.Hes physically talented, looks good, Albarado said.
