Djokovic won with a score of 6-3, 7-6 , 6-3.
The day before, the women's singles championship was won by the host country's tennis player, Cori"Coco" Gauff. The 19-year-old player earned her first Grand Slam title after defeating Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-3, 6-2. Last year, he was unable to enter the American territory because he did not meet the requirements of being vaccinated against Covid-19.
"This achievement is very meaningful for me after going through a difficult time. I am grateful to my parents who have supported me to play tennis since I was young because tennis is an expensive sport. This trophy is a trophy for my family and my team," he continued. As a complement to his title, Djokovic will return to the top of the world rankings, displacing Carlos Alcaraz who lost to Medvedev in the semifinals.
Medvedev played very well in the 2021 final and won in straight sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. However, what happened at Arthur Ashe Stadium this year did not match the wishes of the third ranked tennis player in the world. Djokovic's control over the final match allowed Medvedev to only break Djokovic's serve in the third set. However, the effort was not enough to reverse the situation.Djokovic celebrated his victory by wearing a blue shirt with a photo of himself alongside Kobe Bryant with the number 24, as well as the words"Mamba Mentality". The number symbolizes Djokovic's Grand Slam titles and the number Bryant wore at the NBA team that made his name, the Los Angeles Lakers.
