The Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic won his fourth US Open title yesterday, in the last Grand Slam of the year and the twenty-fourth title of this caliber for him, after winning the Russian Daniil in the final 6-3, 7-6 and 6-3 Medvedev on the hard court of Arthur Ashe Stadium, in Flushing Meadows, New York.
Once again an elite of athletes, politicians, actors, singers and other artistic personalities gathered at the Arthur Ashe stadium. From their stands, which make up the largest tennis court in the world, they watched as Djokovic took the victory after three hours and 18 minutes that gave him his “great” number 24.
Nothing and no one stops Novak Djokovic. If his greatness was ever in doubt, in the final of the United States Open it was confirmed that the Serbian is in his best physical and emotional moment.
With the feat, Nole reached 24 Grand Slams, equaling the mark held alone by Australian Margaret Court, in addition to extending her dominance over Rafa Nadal (22) and Roger Federer (20).
Nole read the letters to the Russian before entering the Arthur Ashe Stadium field. In 2021 they were face to face on the same stage, but on that occasion it was Medvedev who emerged victorious by preventing his rival from scoring the four Grand Slams of that season, since he already had Australia, Roland Garros and Wimbledom in the bag.
Statistics may be the Serbian’s strong point. Of the 72 Major finals that he has played, he has triumphed in 24, that is, he has an effectiveness of 33 percent.
Additionally, in 2011, 2015, 2021 and 2023 he has lifted the champion trophy in three of the four major annual tournaments.
Coco Gauff lifts her first Grand Slam wrapped up at home
For her part, the American Coco Gauff became the youngest champion of the 2023 US Open at 19 years old since Serena Williams in 1999, at 17, and lifted her first Grand Slam title, at home.
The US Open champion came back against Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka after going a set down 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 at the Arthur Ashe, after two hours and six minutes of play. At the championship point, Gauff knelt on the court leaning on her racket and they immediately made way for him in the stands to celebrate with her family, united in a hug.
They had never faced each other before in this instance and on this stage, in a stadium that supported them at every point. On the way to the crown Coco Gauff eliminated the German Laura Siegemund, the Russian Mirra Andreeva, the Belgian Elise Mertens, the Danish Caroline Wozniacki and the Latvian Jelena Ostapenko.
The last American to have won the US Open was Sloane Stephens, in 2017. The United States has its new tennis queen in Coco Gauff, for whom the 2022 Roland Garros final brought the greatest learning.
Aryna Sabalenka leaves without a title, but today she will emerge as number one in the world, after 75 weeks of dominance by the Polish Iga Swiatek.
