Novak Djokovic cruised into the last eight of the U.S. Open Grand Slam with a 6-2 7-5 6-4 win over Borna Gojo.

The 36-year-old serb broke to open the contest and was never threatened as Gojo managed only a single break chance in the entire match.

Djokovic committed just 12 unforced errors compared to 40 by the 105th ranked croat, who was under constant pressure and had his serve broken five times before the second seed closed out the contest with his 12th ace.

Next up for Djokovic is top-ranked American and ninth seed Taylor Fritz, who advanced with a tidy win over Swiss qualifier Dominic Stricker.

Fritz will head into the showdown as the only player yet to drop a set but still stinging from the 6-0 6-4 beating Djokovic laid on him in the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Open.
