Serbia’s legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic is now just one win away from
achieving yet another milestone in his career.
The 36-year-old won his 24th Grand Slam title in
his career by lifting the US Open 2023 title after beating the world number
three Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the final in straight sets with a score of
6-3, 7-6, 6-3.
Djokovic is now just a Roland Garros win away from
completing the fourth Career Grand Slam.
His only defeat in the mega-event this year was in the final of Wimbledon in a five-set thrilling final to Spain's young tennis star Carlos Alcaraz with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4.
The most successful competition for the Belgrade-born is the
Australian Open where he won the title 10 times — 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015,
2016, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023.
His first major title victory was in 2008 when he defeated
France’s Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final in Melbourne with a score of 4–6, 6–4,
6–3, 7–6(7–2).
