US Open – Men’s final LIVE: Novak Djokovic chases record 24th singles Grand Slam title in repeat of 2021 final against Daniil Medvedev

Djokovic knows very well what is at stake tonight in New York.

“I understand that every time a Grand Slam final happens, it’s another opportunity for history,” he said.

‘I am aware of it and of course I am very proud of it.

“But I don’t have a lot of time and I don’t allow myself to think about these things or think too much about history.

“When I did that in the past, like the 2021 final here, maybe I was overwhelmed by the occasion and the opportunity and underperformed.

‘I don’t want this to happen again. I will try to concentrate on what needs to be done and prepare myself tactically for that match.’

Novak Djokovic is one win away from a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title.

The Serbian has won 23 majors, one less than Margaret Court’s record.

Djokovic lost in five sets in an epic final against Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon and now has another chance to equal Court’s record.
