Djokovic's half of the draw also includes a potential semi-final vs either Japan's Kei Nishikori, last year's US Open runner-up, or defending champion Marin Cilic.

Meanwhile, in the women's section, World No 1 Serena Williams, trying to complete a calendar-year Grand Slam at the US Open, could face sister Venus in the quarter-finals, with the possibility of then meeting Russian Maria Sharapova in the semi-finals.
