Daniil Medvedev recently reflected on his defeat to Novak Djokovic in the 2023 US Open final, saying he wasn't sure if he could have changed the outcome.
The World No. 3 lifted the trophy at Flushing Meadows back in 2021 when he was able to defeat Djokovic. This year, Medvedev made it to the final again after he pulled off impressive victories against Alex de Minaur, Andrey Rublev, and Carlos Alcaraz.
However, he was unable to repeat his past glory and instead lost to the World No. 1 in straight sets, 3-6, 6-7 (5), 3-6. In doing so, his opponent Djokovic claimed his third Grand Slam title of the season and his record 24th overall.

Medvedev says he was too "stubborn" during clash
The Russian is currently competing at the Vienna Open, where he was asked in a press conference whether he believed he would have won the match if he had changed his tactics during the second set tiebreak.
"Maybe I would have won the set, but I don't know the match. As for the position in response against Novak in the future, probably yes. And that's the tennis thing. Especially against a good serve-and-net player, if he goes with an outside serve on my forehand, maybe he'll win three points out of four or four out of five," he said.
The 27-year-old continued by saying that he initially thought he had been too "stubborn" during the match, but that realistically a change in strategy may not have made a lot of difference.
"But there's a moment, like at 30-30 or 30-40, when if I make that answer he's under pressure. You don't need to break every game, you need that comeback at the right time. I wasn't able to respond the way I wanted to, but during the game I believed I could.
"After the game I thought I had been too stubborn. I should have changed it. But if I had changed, I'm not sure I would have won. It's very complex," he added.
