Aryna Sabalenka took to Instagram to congratulate Novak Djokovic on his 24th Grand Slam victory at the US Open. On Sunday, Djokovic defeated Daniil Medvedev in three sets in the US Open final. This year, Djokovic won three Grand Slam tournaments, making him the 24-time Grand Slam champion, a record. At 36 years old, Djokovic continues to achieve astonishing results.
“Amazing @djokernole“, captioned Sabalenka on his Instagram story.
Sabalenka failed to win the 2023 US Open.
Sabalenka got off to a flying start to her US Open final on Saturday and it looked like the 25-year-old Belarusian was headed for her second Grand Slam title. But Coco Gauff made an impressive comeback to beat Sabalenka 2-6 6 -3 6-2.
After her loss to Gauff, Sabalenka blamed her inner demons for what happened in the second and third sets: “I will say that in the first set, I managed my emotions well.
I was focused on myself, not the crowd or how they were moving. Yes, I mean she moved amazing today. The good news is that it’s me against me.
The bad news is that I still have trouble playing against myself, I would say (smile). But it does not matter. I’m going to work harder so that next time I’m not even a little tired on the court, and I’ll be better, yes.
It’s a combination of everything. But I would say that today, it’s more thanks to me that she won. I didn’t make it the whole match, but there were some key moments in the second set, the one I lost, and those moments helped her turn things around.
Then it was just, of course, his incredible defensive play. But I would say that I lost this match because of the key moments in the second set where I was more involved than her,” Sabalenka said after the match.
