Daniil Medvedev beats Novak Djokovic: Daniil Medvedev lies on the court in disbelief after beating world No 1 Novak Djokovic at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Moreover, For the majority of his third major final, Medvedev bullied Djokovic from the baseline, he erected a defensive wall on his half of the court and he served as if he was standing from a tree. In the process, Medvedev thwarted Djokovic’s shot at immortality, outplaying the world No 1 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to win his first major title at the US Open.
Daniil Medvedev though has won the first set 6-4 and the second too by the same margin. He won the third set 6-4 to get his first Grand Slam title. It is Novak Djokovic’s fourth U.S. Open men’s final over the last 25 years between the top two seeds.
Medvedev speaks. McKendry reminds him that he said two years ago he would come back from his loss in the final and learn from it. In his response, he says he’s sorry to Novak and the fans, getting a smile from Djokovic.
Medvedev added Djokovic, is the greatest player ever.
Also, it’s his third anniversary, he says in a near-giggle. “If I lose, I need to find a present fast.”
McKendry then brings up someone from JP Morgan Chase to hand him a check for $2.5m.
