NEW YORK : Novak Djokovic against Daniil Medvedev in the U.S. Open men's final may not have been the showdown fans were dreaming of but it could still bring the Grand Slam season to a spellbinding conclusion on Sunday.
The contest also comes with some spicy sub plots as Djokovic hunts a fourth U.S. Open that would see him equal Margaret Court's record haul of 24 Grand Slams and, along with it, a good measure of revenge against Medvedev. "I don't have much time nor do I allow myself to reflect on these things or think about the history too much.
Medvedev has spent much of time working the graveyard shift at Flushing Meadows with several of his matches starting late in the evening one day and finishing in the next. "He is always better than the previous time he plays," said 27-year-old Medvedev, who will be appearing in his third U.S. Open final, having also lost to Rafa Nadal in 2019.
