The tennis community went absolutely wild at seeing the young talent outperforming the seeded players and making their place in history. Emma Raducanu created history after being the first player to win the Grand Slam after coming as a qualifier. Novak had a similar opinion as he specifically mentioned the young talents in his tweet.
Novak Djokovic Vs Daniil Medvedev
The final between Novak and Daniil was one of the biggest upsets. Nobody had thought that the 20-time grand slam champion could go down in straight sets, that too in a major final! However, Medvedev simply hit the ball with absolute perfection. The Russian player dominated the entire match to seal his one-sided win. The jam-packed stadium was in support of Djokovic, but that didn’t distract Medvedev. Instead, it served as motivation.
The year goes down with The Big 3 tied up with their Grand Slam wins. Nadal and Federer had withdrawn from the US Open, but they are preparing hard to make a comeback in the next season. Who do you think would be the first to reach the 21st Grand slam win?
