Djokovic defeated Medvedev to win the U.S. Open, his 24th Grand Slam title
Novak Djokovic won his 24th Grand Slam title Sunday night in the exciting and exhausting U.S. Open, according to the Associated Press. In a more intense match than the two straight sets, Djokovic used all his energy and some serve and serve skills to win 6:3, 7-6 (5), 6:3 against Daniil Medvedev.
Djokovic, a 36-year-old veteran from Serbia, leads Serena Williams by a Grand Slam singles title, becoming the first player to win 24 Grand Slam singles titles in the Open era since 1968. Margaret Court has also won 24 Grand Slam titles, but 13 of them came before the pro joined the Grand Slam tournament.
In the second set of 1 hour and 44 minutes, Djokovic seemed a little overwhelmed. After some of the toughest match points (there are many match points), he will support his knees with his hands, or support his body with a racket, or stop to stretch his legs.
Djokovic defeated Djokovic in the 2021 Flushing Meadows final, preventing him from achieving his dream of a Grand Slam for the first time in more than half a century, and Djokovic became the oldest male champion of the US Open in the Open era this time.
