NEW YORK : Novak Djokovic could claim a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title at Sunday's U.S. Open final but will put that landmark out of his mind as he prepares to face old foe Daniil Medvedev.
The memory of that bitter defeat was still fresh in his mind, as Djokovic told reporters he was trying not to focus on the significance of a 24th major title that would match Margaret Court's all-time singles record. "So I don't want this to happen again, and I'll try to, you know, just focus on what needs to be done and tactically prepare myself for that match."
Fans had hoped that Djokovic would meet the young Spaniard again in New York. But the defending champion came up short against Medvedev in their respective semi-final.
