Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic won the US Open for the fourth time in his career and won his 24th Grand Slam title, equaling the all-time record of Australian Margaret Court. In the final, he beat the Russian Daniil Medvedev in three hours and 17 minutes on New York concrete 6:3, 7:6, 6:3. The 36-year-old native of Belgrade also became the oldest US Open singles winner in history.
Djokovic avenged Medvedev’s 2021 final defeat at Flushing Meadows, winning the tenth of their fifteen meetings. The protégé of coach Goran Ivanišević, who will return to the post of world number one, dominated the New York Grand Slam after five years. He also succeeded in 2011 and 2015. He did not start last year due to the lack of vaccination against the coronavirus.
Medvedev, seeded third, lost his chance to win a second Grand Slam title. The 27-year-old Russian, who knocked out the reigning champion Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals, lost the fourth of five final duels at the “big four” tournaments.
