    Djokovic sings famous Beastie Boys song to crowd after US Open victory

    Novak Djokovic aims to win yet another major title as he battles Daniil Medvedev in the US Open men’s singles final this evening. This match is a repeat of the 2021 final in which Medvedev triumphed over the Serb and this evening’s clash is one of the most highly anticipated meetings of the tournament.

    World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz was the defending US Open champion and was expected to set up a repeat of the Wimbledon final but he was beaten by Medvedev in four sets during their semi-final. Djokovic can secure a 24th slam tonight to level Margaret Court’s record of singles titles. He reached the US Open showpiece by defeating 20-year-old American Ben Shelton in the semi-finals.

    Follow all the updates from the US Open men’s final as Novak Djokovic takes on Daniil Medvedev and get all the latest odds right here:

    Tim Henman is raving about Djokovic’s ability to shift direction in the rally.

    US Open final: Djokovic 3-2* Medvedev (6-3, 7-6)

    Medvedev still dancing around his backhand to launch an impressive forehand to Djokovic’s backhand side.

    Djokovic then unable to loop a forehand back inside the line. 15-30.

    And suddenly, another double fault! Remarkable timing, a sniff at a break back for Medvedev, 15-40.

    Silence! Nobody can quite believe it, a gift from Djokovic and Medvedev is back in this set, and perhaps the match.

    US Open final: Djokovic *3-1 Medvedev (6-3, 7-6)

    Medvedev now looks tired and perhaps a little sorry for himself, he’s break point down.

    Djokovic jumps on the second serve and then dictates the rally from that moment onwards.

    Medvedev going long and that is surely that?

    US Open final: Djokovic 2-1* Medvedev (6-3, 7-6)

    That was machine-like from Djokovic, no let-up, he moves one clear and it gets just that little bit harder for Medvedev.

    As we approach the three-hour mark, both men look noticeably fatigued.

    But Medvedev will have to dig that little bit deeper to salvage this match.

    US Open final: Djokovic *1-1 Medvedev (6-3, 7-6)

    Djokovic is the all-time leader in grand slam history for reaching the final.

    He’s played in 72 grand slams and is in his 36th grand slam final. Remarkable.

    Medvedev is alive! Sprinting to the net and planting a whipped forehand crosscourt to move to 40-0 and that’s a game to love.

    Both men clearly taking a breather after that gruelling second set.

    US Open final: Djokovic 1-0* Medvedev (6-3, 7-6)

    Djokovic injury update: It looks like general fatigue, as the Serbian is stretching both legs and doing a series of lunges before serving.

    A bit more zip on those serves, it’s straightforward enough. You would hope that isn’t a trend or maybe the game will be over rather quickly.

    US Open final: Djokovic 7-6 Medvedev (6-3) - SET!

    The backhand is relentless, crosscourt, just peppering Medvedev, who would not break for so long.

    The Russian was begging him to go down the line, but he wouldn’t and it paid off. 5-5.

    And suddenly Djokovic has set point out of nowhere, in a tiebreak where he’s barely held on.

    SET! He’s done it, remarkable resilience from the Serbian, and Medvedev looks crushed. 2-0 and now within one set of that magical 24th slam title.
