Novak Djokovic is about to write the history of tennis: the number one in the world has conquered the finale of the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the current season in New York, beating in five sets Alexander Zverev at the end of a fiery semifinal.
The Serbian tennis player lost the first set again as with Matteo Berrettini, but then he reassembled the German, imposing himself with partials of 4-6 6-2 6-4 4-6 6-2.
On Sunday he will face the Russian in the final Daniil Medvedev, which broke the Canadian in three sets Auger-Aliassime. Not only the twenty-first Grand Slam, which would allow him to overcome tough rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, but above all the Grande Slam: after the victories ai Australian Open, al Roland Garros e a Wimbledon, Djokovic could hit the historic poker he was last conquered by Rod Laver, 52 years ago.
A result that would definitively consecrate him as the greatest ever, at least in terms of results.
To try to block the way will be Medvedev, world number 2 on the hunt for the first Grand Slam of his career: “I will play the game as if it were the last game of my career”Said Djokovic, more determined than ever. Appointment at 10pm (Italian time) on Sunday.
