- Serb beats opponent 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 on return to Flushing Meadows
- Djokovic wins his third major of 2023 with victory at US Open
- As it happened: Bryan Graham’s game-by-game report
Novak Djokovic’s summer began with the type of setback that has been rare in his career. He was not merely outplayed by Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final, he was also outfought and outlasted. At the age of 36, after dominating for so much of the past 12 years, a new threat had emerged.
But Djokovic’s greatness has been defined by his ability to rise from difficulty stronger than before. On Sunday evening in the final of the US Open, his response was predictable and decisive as he held on through countless exhausting rallies to defeat Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 and win a men’s record-extending 24th grand slam title.
