Daniil Medvedev vs Novak Djokovic Highlights | 2021 US Open FInal

No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic takes on No. 2 seed Daniil Medvedev in the final of the 2021 US Open.

The 2021 US Open main draw runs from August 30 - September 12 in New York City at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The tournament takes place for the 141st time and is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year. Dominic Thiem is the men’s singles defending champion but has withdrawn following an injury. Naomi Osaka is the women’s singles defending champion and will be aiming to claim the title for the third time in four years. Meanwhile, No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic looks to complete the calendar Grand Slam after winning the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon already this year. Should the Serbian lift the title here for the fifth time, he will also overtake Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to become the first-ever man to win 21 Grand Slam singles titles. With full capacity crowds back again, it’s time for the greatest return!

Not only did Medvedev beat one of the greatest tennis players ever in straight sets, he also had to beat the crowd. Incredible mental toughness. Mad respect.

Medvedev is the most intelligent tennis player out there. And the perfect antidote to Djokovic.

Tsitsipas (French Open) and Zverev had their chances, but they got too flashy and tried too hard to force the points. Daniil waited patiently for the opening, each and every point, knowing fully well that Djokovic is on safe mode, nervous, and not willing to go super aggressive. But at the same time served super aggressively, even on second serves.

Brilliant ploy and a thoroughly deserving winner.

Imagine winning your maiden grand slam and doing the dead fish as your celebration.

This guy is something else entirely.

Daniil mentality and performance overall has been amazing. He had a little black out after he missed the first championship point (crowd was awful honestly) but then bounced back on his next serve game and won his maiden grand slam title.
Congrats Daniil Medvedev on this special victory. A very deserved one!

Congrats to Danill. It was a master class on his part today.

[samalmansoorii]

let's talk about medvedev's mentality, that guy is lethal. a well-deserved win.

[davd]

Pathetic crowd trying booing Medvedev before and during his serves and cheering whenever he made a mistake. They got what they deserved. Congratulations to Medvedev. Hopefully more to come.

Finally, Daniil surpassed his limits in terms of his mental strength. And when you come up against the big three, i think that’s one of the main part of your game that you really need to step up and tonight he did. A well deserved win! A first to many grand slams I’m sure! 🎉

The way Medvedev dropped to the floor after winning was like "Oh wait, this was championship point, better drop to the floor and collapse like all other champions, let me fall sideways, oof! " 😂 Congrats Daniil!

Novak was literally playing his mirror image today. But his mirror image served much better and was the more aggressive of the two when needed. Congrats Medvedev!

[JezzaSezza]

Crowd was toxic asf when Medvedev was serving it out the first time. I’d almost go as far as to say it was cheating. They were screaming like they were witnessing a 40 shot ralley going on and even booing to.

[Riteshghosh]

Finally, someone from the young generation winning against these guys and in this fashion is truly remarkable!!

[MrEpicOSTs]

Probably Novak's best opportunity to get all of 4 Grand slams this season, but had been put to the end by Medvedev. But in style, straight sets!

[inclubchief]

world-class tennis by medvedev with almost no errors - you deserved it!
and thanks to nole for the big tennis moments over all the years, I’m pretty sure you’re not finished yet

[inathoiehohs]

Medvedev kept his foot on the gas the entire match and never let off even a little bit. The only way to beat the great ones like Djokovic. Very impressive win.

[TheCityboy]

Thrilled to a see new face, finally -- it's about time! Straight sets? Wow, what a shocker, what a classic win. Well done, Daniil, way to go!

[hgmet]

It was like Novak was playing against a better version of himself today. Well deserved win for Daniil.

[Jluyoungzone]

I felt bad for Medvedev when the crowd were trying to distract him during his serves in the 3rd set. It's a pretty scummy thing to do even if you really want Djokovic to win

[g.s.]

Medvedev has the best “poker face “ in the game. Very hard to tell if he’s winning or losing, cool as a cucumber and fast becoming my favourite player with his unusual style
