Novak Djokovic has etched his name even deeper into tennis history by securing his 24th Grand Slam title at the 2023 US Open. In a thrilling final showdown, Djokovic triumphed over Daniil Medvedev, thereby matching the longstanding record held by Australian tennis legend Margaret Court for half a century. This remarkable victory not only solidifies Djokovic’s status as one of the greatest tennis players of all time but also positions him at the summit of the ATP rankings once again.
Djokovic’s remarkable win in New York was also marked by several additional records. He claimed his fourth US Open title, making him the oldest champion in the history of the men’s singles event at this prestigious tournament, surpassing the legendary Ken Rosewall, who secured the title at the age of 35 years and 315 days in 1970.
Furthermore, Djokovic became the first player to capture three Grand Slam titles in a single calendar year on four separate occasions. This feat underscores his extraordinary consistency and dominance in the sport.
Notably, Djokovic’s victory at the 2023 US Open also matches the longest gap between titles at this tournament, spanning an impressive 12 years. His first US Open victory came in 2011, and he sealed his fourth title in 2023, joining the ranks of tennis great Pete Sampras, who achieved this feat in 1990 and 2002.
By achieving this historic 24th Grand Slam title, Djokovic not only secured his place in tennis lore but also potentially settled the ongoing debate surrounding the title of the sport’s greatest of all time (GOAT), at least in terms of titles, statistics, and records. Djokovic’s remarkable career continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of tennis.
