[FNX Magokiler]

he Russian, number two in the world, swept a triple 6-4 to the Serbian (1st) in two hours and a quarter of the game. Thus, it prevented Nole from winning the four Majors of the season and being the highest GS winner in history.

The Serbian Novak Djokovic, world number one, and his immediate pursuer in the ranking, the Russian Daniil Medvedev, gave us a beautiful match corresponding to the final of the United States Open, the fourth and last Grand Slam of the season. But the one who celebrated was only one, the 2nd in the world: he beat Nole 6-4, 6-4 and 6-4 in two hours and a quarter of a game to stay with the first Major of his career at 25 years.

Djokovic could not get the Grand Slam
Djokovic was in search of a feat that would leave him as the second tennis player in history to achieve it after Rod Laver in 1969: to win all four Grand Slams of the season. It is that this year he stayed with the Australian Open, with Roland Garros and with Wimbledon. And although throughout the American tournament he showed some other weakness, against Medvedev he had no chances and was left without his main objective.

 

 

He too could have had the Golden Slam at stake, had he not lost in the semi-finals of the Tokyo Olympics.

How was the history between Djokovic and Medvedev
The final duel between Djokovic, 34, and Medvedev, 25 and number 2 on the planet, which was played on the Arthur Ashe Stadium center court, was the ninth they had as professionals. The Russian's triumph reduced the Serbian tennis player's lead to 5-4.

Djokovic could not be alone leader of the ranking of top Grand Slams winners
Djokovic wanted to surpass the record of 20 Grand Slam titles that he shares with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, who missed this edition due to injuries. Although 2021 was a year in which he was able to add three Majors, the fourth was taken from him by Medvedev and he will have to wait a little longer to try again to be the leader alone in the ranking of top Grand Slams winners.
