Now to say that Djokovic is the first in history, is there still controversy?
Although the Serbian men's basketball team lost to the German men's basketball team, it did not qualify for the World Cup championship. But in another final played on the same day, it was the Serbs who won the final victory.
In the 2023 US Open men's singles final, Djokovic defeated Medvedev 3-0 to win his fourth US Open men's singles title and his 24th Grand Slam singles title.
Is it controversial to say that he is the first in history now?
At this US Open, Djokovic is the No. 2 seed in the men's singles and Medvedev is the No. 3 seed in the men's singles.
In previous matches, Djokovic defeated Alexander Miller, Bernaway Zapata Mirales, Lászro Jere, Bona Goyo, Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton.
With the exception of the match against Las Rowo Jere, Deyo won 3-0 in the remaining rounds.
Djokovic's final opponent Dmitry Medvedev was equally menacing, beating No. 1 seed Alcaraz 3-1 (7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3) in the semifinals.
In the 2021 US Open men's singles final, Djokovic lost 0-3 (4-6, 4-6, 4-6) to Medvedev. After meeting the US Open final again after two years, Deyo also ushered in a chance for revenge.
He didn't miss this opportunity for revenge, winning 6-3 in both the first and third sets, except for a 7-6 tie in the second set. In the end, Djokovic lost three straight sets to win the US Open men's singles title again after five years, which was also Djokovic's fourth US Open men's singles title.
In the 2011 US Open men's singles final, Djokovic defeated Nadal 3–1 (6–2, 6–4, 6–7, 6–1) to win the US Open title for the first time.
In the 2015 US Open men's singles final, Djokovic defeated Federer 3–1 (6–4, 5–7, 6–4, 6–4) to win the title for the second time.
In the 2018 US Open men's singles final, Djokovic defeated Del Potro 3-0 (6–3, 7–6, 6–3) to win the title for the third time.
Since winning the title in 2018, Djokovic has missed the US Open in the next four years.
In the fourth round of the 2019 US Open men's singles, Djokovic retired due to injury when he trailed 2-0 to Wawrinka and did not defend his title.
In the fourth round of the 2020 US Open men's singles, Djokovic accidentally hit a female sideline referee and was disqualified.
At the 2021 US Open, Djokovic finally stopped withdrawing from the US Open due to unexpected circumstances, but lost 0-3 to Medvedev in the final.
At the 2022 US Open, Djokovic did not come to participate at all due to special circumstances.
At the 2023 US Open, Djokovic, who has returned full of blood, has finally regained the championship trophy!
Among the four Grand Slams, the US Open is not Djokovic's blessing.
From his first Australian Open title in 2008 to his fourth US Open title in 2023, Djokovic has won 24 Grand Slam titles.
These 24 Grand Slam titles include -
10 Australian Open titles (2008, 2011-2013, 2015-2016, 2019-2021, 2023)
3 French Open titles (2016, 2021, 2023)
7 Wimbledon crowns (2011, 2014-2015, 2018-2019, 2021-2022)
4 US Open titles (2011, 2015, 2018, 2023)
It is understandable that the French Open title is too little, after all, Nadal's dominance on clay is too strong, and it is not easy for Deyo to grab three titles.
The results of 10 titles and 0 runners-up at the Australian Open and 7 titles and 2 runners-up at Wimbledon are very much in line with Djokovic's strength on hard courts and grass, but the record of 4 titles and 6 runners-up at the US Open is not so prominent.
From the previous review, it can be seen that Djokovic did not play badly at the US Open, but there were too many surprises. From 2019 to 2022, he missed the US Open title four years in a row, and only once did he actually lose the match.
If you consider that Federer and Nadal are no longer at their peak in those years, Alcaraz has not yet grown. If Djokovic had been able to play in previous years of the US Open in normal form, his current US Open title count would probably not have been four.
The current top 5 men's singles Grand Slam wins are:
1. Djokovic 24 titles
2. Nadal 22 crowns
3. Federer 20 crowns
4, Sampras 14 crowns
5. Roy Emerson 12 crowns
If you put men and women together, Deyo is currently tied for first place in history with Margaret Court, with 24 titles.
If in the past there was controversy that Djokovic was the first man in men's tennis history, there should be no controversy now, right?
How much more history can he make?
Djokovic won the Australian Open, French Open and US Open in 2023, the fourth time in his career that he has won at least three Grand Slams in a single season!
2011: Australian Open, Wimbledon, US Open
2015: Australian Open, Wimbledon, US Open
2021: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon
2023: Australian Open, French Open, US Open
When he first entered professional tennis, Federer was about to start his own era.
When he reached the peak of his career, Federer and Nadal went with him to the top.
Today, the 36-year-old Djokovic remains at the top of the men's tennis scene, and his main rival is 20-year-old Alcaraz.
How many more titles will he win? How many eras will he span?
Perhaps next year, he can win his first Olympic men's singles gold medal, or he may achieve a single-season "Grand Slam" or "Golden Slam".
After winning the US Open, Djokovic changed into a Mamba Forever T-shirt to pay tribute to Kobe. In the post-match interview, Xiaode said: "It is the Mamba spirit that has always inspired him. ”
Finally, hopefully the Mamba spirit will continue to inspire Djokovic to win more titles.
