Djokovic wanted to become the first male winner of the Grand Slam since the great Rod Laver in 1969 and to surpass legends Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on the all-time Grand Slam titles list but he lost out in the game.
Medvedev defeated Jokovich 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to claim his maiden Grand Slam title.
“He came out very determined on the court. You could feel that he was just at highest of his abilities in every shot. He had a lot of clarity what he needs to do tactically. He has executed it perfectly.”
Medvedev had told reporters that he was coming to the Arthur Ashe Stadium hopefully 100 percent of fan and that no matter the score, he is just going to turn up the heat.
