Second seed Djokovic looked physically troubled in that gruelling second set, but showed all the hallmarks of his greatness to win a fourth US Open title. The constant pressure led to another break point for Djokovic in the seventh game, but Medvedev hung on to hold as Djokovic tumbled on to the court after an energy-sapping 31-shot rally. Very satisfied and pleased to be in another grand slam final,” said Djokovic. “This is exactly what I’ve imagined and hoped that will happen when I came to Australia, with intention to be in a position to fight for another Australian Open trophy.” On Sunday, Djokovic will face by far his toughest opponent in Melbourne as he stares down a resurgent Tsitsipas, a rematch of the 2021 French Open final won by Djokovic. Neither player has lost a match so far in 2023.

Djokovic, who surpassed Rafael Nadal's record tally of 22 men's major titles earlier this year, has matched Australia's Court at the second attempt after losing the Wimbledon final in July. I'm really living my childhood dream to compete at the highest level in this sport, which has given me and my family so much from difficult circumstances. With his fourth title at Flushing Meadows, Djokovic joined Roger Federer as the only players on the men's side with four or more titles at three different majors. Djokovic's relentless returning continued to draw mistakes out of Medvedev, who was serving poorly and making loose errors, at the start of the second set.Djokovic also pulled on a T-shirt which paid tribute to NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his friend who was killed in a helicopter crash in 2020 and wore 24 in his playing days. The odds were pretty much against me and my family. It was not accessible, not affordable, but I fell in love with tennis," he said. But knowing that I play at such a high level still and I win the biggest tournaments in this sport … I don’t want to leave this sport if I’m still at the top, if I’m still playing the way I’m playing.” Now the incoming world number one has the chance to surpass Court at January's Australian Open - where he has already won a record 10 titles.

With Medvedev deep behind the baseline when receiving, Djokovic smartly decided to serve-volley on his way to 4-1 - a tactic he employed throughout - and showed his all-round quality to close out the opening set. We witnessed him tying Margaret Court with 24 titles. It has taken him a time to get there but he's done it. He's super-human isn't he?" she said on BBC Radio 5 Live. After he got through the second-set tiebreak, Djokovic said he was able to regain some of his energy during the break. In the third set, he left little to chance, and Medvedev's fighting spirit seemed to be greatly diminished. Djokovic needed just 44 minutes in the final set. NEW YORK -- Novak Djokovic defeated Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 7-6 (5), 6-3 on Sunday to win the US Open and claim a historic 24th major championship, matching Margaret Court for the most Grand Slam singles titles in tennis history. Djokovic said he came up with the idea about a week ago as a way to honor his friend. He said he received advice on his own career from Bryant, who died in 2020 in a helicopter crash that also killed his daughter Gianna and seven others.I never thought I would be here but the last couple of years I thought I had a shot at history. Why not grab it when it is presented?" He was one of the people I relied on the most, he was always there for support in the most friendly way. When Djokovic lost to 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final it felt like a changing-of-the-guard moment in the men's game. Something appeared to be troubling Djokovic physically as he held a long game for 4-4 and survived Medvedev's first break point of the match. At the most critical moment, Djokovic shored up his game and broke serve for the set with some spectacular defence. With the first set secured, Djokovic relaxed and gradually returned to the stratospheric level he has exhibited during the second week. There were some tight games, and Paul showed off his great athleticism by winning a number of high octane extended rallies, but in the end he had only three games to show for his efforts in the final two sets.

While a rematch with the Spaniard in the final seemed the likely outcome for much of this tournament, revenge against Medvedev was sweet. In 2021, the last time Djokovic competed in New York, he came to the US Open needing the title to capture a calendar grand slam. Instead, he was humbled in straight sets by Medvedev in the final. Djokovic’s refusal to take a Covid vaccine meant that he was barred from travelling to the US for last year’s edition. There is a little regret that I didn’t win that Wimbledon final. But, look, in the end of the day, I have so much more to be happier and content with than actually to regret something.” Regrets, for sure,” Medvedev said. “Should have won it. Should have won it, but sometimes tennis is not that easy. Passing for sure down the line, not cross, but I have two choices and I chose the wrong one.”This is one of the biggest achievements in sports history. We're not talking about tennis. We are talking generally in sport." The New York crowds were treated to two special nights after Coco Gauff won a maiden Grand Slam women's singles title on Saturday at the beginning of her exciting career but Djokovic's triumph brought emotion for different reasons, with the Serb nearing the end of his. I would definitely sign right away the paper if somebody would tell me I would win three out of four and play Wimbledon finals this year," Djokovic said. I don't think I have ever played a longer set in my life, particularly not on this occasion against a top player like Daniil," Djokovic said. "I think he was probably a better player in the second set. He deserved to win that set more than I did. Somehow, I managed to turn things around in the tiebreak. When it mattered, I put one ball into play more than he did. And that was enough."
