Novak Djokovic won his fourth US Open title and equaled Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 Grand Slams with a 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-3 victory over Daniil Medvedev in the final on Sunday.
Djokovic, who is 36 years old, is now the oldest man to win the US Open since Ken Rosewall in 1970. He is also the first player to win all four Grand Slams twice in the Open Era.
The match was a rematch of the 2021 US Open final, which Medvedev won in a fifth-set tiebreak.
But this time, Djokovic was the better player from start to finish. He served well, hit his groundstrokes with precision, and never gave Medvedev a chance to get into the match.
Djokovic was particularly dominant in the first set, breaking Medvedev’s serve twice to take a 6-3 lead.
In the second set, the match was closer, but Djokovic prevailed in the tiebreak. And in the third set, he broke Medvedev’s serve twice to seal the victory.
After the match, Djokovic was emotional as he celebrated his victory. He said that it was one of the most special moments of his career.
“This is a dream come true. I’ve been chasing this record for a long time. To be able to equal Margaret Court’s record is an incredible feeling.” Djokovic said.
Djokovic’s victory is a testament to his greatness. He is one of the greatest tennis players of all time, and he is still playing at an elite level at the age of 36. He is sure to add to his Grand Slam record in the years to come.
The win also puts Djokovic in a strong position to win the year-end ATP Finals and finish the season as the world No. 1.
Djokovic’s victory is a major boost for tennis. He is a global superstar and his success is good for the sport.
He is an inspiration to players of all ages, and he shows that it is possible to achieve great things at any age.
