Novak Djokovic beat Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 7-6(7-5), 6-3 in the US Open men’s final to match Margaret Court’s all-time record haul of 24 grand slam titles.
The victory, his fourth in 10 Flushing Meadows finals, capped another remarkable grand slam campaign for Djokovic with wins at the Australian, French and US Opens and a return to the top of the world rankings when they are updated next week.
