US Open 2023 results: Novak Djokovic wins 24th major
Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic has won a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title after beating Daniil Medvedev in the US Open final in New York.
Djokovic won 6-3 7-6 (7-5) 6-3.
Despite the score, the match was a punishing one. A comfortable opening set was followed by a brutal second – which lasted one hour and 44 minutes.
After the pair exchanged breaks early in the third, Djokovic took control to level Margaret Court’s 50-year record.
“It obviously means the world to me,” said Djokovic on winning his 24th major.
“I’m really living my childhood dream to compete at the highest level in this sport, which has given me and my family so much from difficult circumstances.
“I never thought I would be here but the last couple of years I thought I had a shot at history. Why not grab it when it is presented?”Djovokiv looked physically done for in the second set, but his greatness shone through to win a fourth US Open title.
