Novak, come on, you’ve got… everything! THE Djokovic increased his record number of Grand Slam victories to 24 defeating Daniil Medvedev in three sets in his final US Open. The Serbian tennis player needed 3 hours and 17 minutes to “bend” the resistance of the Russian (No. 3) with 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-3 and become king in the US for the fourth time in his career.
“Nole” reached them 96 titles in his career and is now on pace for triple figures, something only Jimmy Connors (109) and Roger Federer (103) have achieved. At the same time, with his new feat he consolidated his position at the top of the world ranking by gaining an additional 2,000 points, while adding another 3 million dollars to his earnings.
“I am living my childhood dream, to participate at the highest level. I come from a difficult place, my parents made huge sacrifices for me, they supported me to play an expensive sport, which not all pockets can easily afford. There was tremendous faith from my parents and all family members. I want to say to my family that I love you, this trophy is yours, it is a very special achievement. When I realized that I can achieve it I kept setting new goals, I never imagined that I can win 24 Grand Slam titlesDjokovic emphasized.
The big loser said in turn:First of all, I’d like to ask Djokovic why he’s still here (laughter). I hope there will be another final, I hope you calm down and relax a bit, he has lifted 24 grand slam titles, I have 20 titles but Nole has 24 grand slams! It’s weird because they don’t fall on the same day, but my wife and I’s anniversary is on a Sunday, so I’ve been trying to find motivation. Sometimes it’s easier, sometimes it’s harder on this journey, but I thank everyone who is with me. I personally think it’s incredible that I beat Novak in a grand slam final, I’ve played Rafa and Novak in four finals and won one. He was very friendly towards me at the beginning of my career and that impressed me and he remains the same, no matter how many titles he wins he remains the same person and that is the most important thing for me».
