Novak Djokovic is gunning for his 13th Grand Slam title as he continues to roll along in the U.S. Open. If he is going to be successful in the tournament's championship round, he is going to have to battle France's best tennis players in back-to-back rounds.

Djokovic faces Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Tuesday night in the quarterfinal round of the U.S. Open. If he is successful against his hard-serving opponent, he will play the winner of the Lucas Pouille-Gael Monfils match in the semifinals.

In the U.S. Open, he had a walkover in the second round against Jiri Vesely and a short match in the third because his opponent, Mikhail Youzhny, had to retire in the first set.

The official U.S. Open Twitter account shared footage of Djokovic's match point against Edmund:



Djokovic said the win over Edmund made him feel more confident because he was on the court for a full match.
