Justin Timberlake, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lil Wayne. The celebrity list topped more than 100 today for the men's final of the 2023 U.S. Open. Yet as accomplished as any of the stars may be in their respective fields, do any of them sing or dance or play sports better than Novak Djokovic masters tennis? For three sets, they got the answer. And it is no.
As eyes swiveled, and jaws dropped, and smiles formed in disbelief, Djokovic won his 24th major title, beating Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 7-6, 6-3, to win the U.S. Open for the fourth time. This 24th major ties him with Margaret Court for the most singles titles won by any player, male or female, and moves him past Serena Williams, who retired last year with 23. More importantly, this puts Djokovic two majors ahead of rival Rafa Nadal and now four, amazingly, ahead of Roger Federer.
