The US Open men’s final is one of the most highly anticipated clashes of the year with Novak Djokovic set to take on Daniil Medvedev in a repeat of the 2021 final.
Alcaraz was the US Open defending champion and world number one, but he was beaten by Medvedev in four sets, meaning there will be no repeat of the Wimbledon final. Djokovic did not compete in last year’s tournament due to the United States’ coronavirus vaccine requirements, but will want to add to his tally, against the 27-year-old Russian who beat him in straight sets two years ago.
Djokovic has 23 grand slams to his name, and if he can secure a 24th it would bring him level with Margaret Court’s record for singles grand slam titles. The Serbian ended Ben Shelton’s American dream in the semi-finals, winning in straight sets, before a cold celebration where he mimed hanging up a telephone on the 20-year-old.
