Soviet and Russian tennis player and coach Viktor Yanchuk said that Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic thought carefully while preparing for each match, and this helped him defeat Russian representative Daniil Medvedev in the US Open final. His words guide the way “Championship.com”.
“He took the keys, the right style of play and drew conclusions from past defeats against Medvedev. Djokovic systematically, consistently and consciously imposed his game on his opponent and attacked selectively after good preparation. This tactic brought success,” Yanchuk said.
The match was played on the night of September 11, Moscow time, and ended in three sets with scores of 3:6, 6:7 (5), 3:6. The meeting lasted 3 hours and 17 minutes.
The 36-year-old Serbian tennis player became the oldest champion of the tournament, surpassing the record of Australian tennis player Ken Rosewall (35 years old). Djokovic won the Grand Slam tournament for the 24th time and the US Open for the fourth time.
The 27-year-old Russian lost his fourth of five finals at Grand Slam tournaments. He lost twice to Djokovic and twice to Spanish Rafael Nadal. Medvedev won the US Open in 2021, defeating Djokovic in three matches.
