Novak Djokovic was doing everything he wanted against Marcel Granollers in Round 4 at the U.S. Open on Tuesday. That didn't work out well for Granollers.

In the second set, Nole won 68 percent of his receiving points. That's an outstanding number...except compared to the 92 percent he won for the third set.
