US Open 2023: Winning starts for Novak Djokovic and Caroline Wozniacki | Watch highlights

Novak Djokovic made a winning return to the US Open with a commanding opening-round win over Frenchman Alexandre Muller on Monday night.

Playing his first match at Flushing Meadows since Daniil Medvedev denied him a calendar-year Grand Slam in the 2021 final, Djokovic punished the World No. 84 with nine early forehand winners as he took the first eight games of the contest and soon after the match 6-0, 6-2, 6-3.

Meanwhile, Caroline Wozniacki won her opening match in her first Grand Slam appearance in over three years on Monday, beating Russian qualifier Tatiana Prozorova 6-3, 6-2 at the US Open.

The former world number one from Denmark returned to tennis earlier this month, having retired after the 2020 Australian Open to start a family, and giving birth to two children.
