Sunday (12-09-2021) was the great day for him. Daniil Medvedev beats No. 1 Tennis player Novak Djokovic at the US Open Men's final. The final score was 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. This is Medvedev's first grand slam title in his career.
While Djokovic failed to become the third man after Don Budge (1938) and Rod Laver (1962, 1969) swept all four majors in the same year, Medvedev pulled out a stellar US Open exit with an unforgettable win. Apparently announcing a change of guard, Russia broke out in the first game of the tournament and from there, remained in charge throughout.
Instead, any winds of this unique 25-year-old Russian man, Djokovic's neighbor at his welcome home in Monaco are confident that he will now create any negative numbers in Monte Carlo's restaurants and restaurants as well as the local tennis court where they both train.
Medvedev got off to a quick start, breaking Djokovic's dominance in the first game of the match and gave Djokovic a few chances to take the first set. That should not have mattered. Djokovic, 34, was nervous at the start of the game for two weeks, before raising his level and returning to success after winning. Of course, he will re-install the script.
And he had an open, three-point break in Medvedev's first service game, and then another with Medvedev serving 1-2 in the second set, when the sound system didn't work well and disrupted one of Medvedev's services, giving him a new chance to save the game.
When Medvedev took that point and another, the weight of it all finally broke the man who seemed unbreakable. Djokovic pulled out his racket with a court order that had given him many titles before.
After the game, Medvedev bent the bucket on Djokovic's toes as he hit the net, and when Djokovic's volley floated for a long time, the chance to crush a dream was just a few more games and one was started.
"He did a great deal of history," Medvedev said. "Knowing that I was able to stop him, it definitely makes it fun."
Djokovic had beaten Medvedev recently in a relegation battle in February with his ninth Australian Open title, a moment that seems to be alive in the past, when no one was talking about a Grand Slam winner.
