NEW YORK, Sept 10 — As Novak Djokovic again stands on the verge of history at the US Open, he has a score to settle with Daniil Medvedev after his loss to the Russian in the 2021 final cost him a calendar Grand Slam.
Djokovic will return to world number one next week, but he is wary of being swept up by the significance of the occasion in New York. “Because when I did that in the past, like, ‘21 finals here I was maybe overwhelmed with the occasion and the opportunity and I underperformed.Djokovic fell agonisingly short of matching Margaret Court’s all-time mark for most Grand Slam singles titles when he lost to Alcaraz in five sets in the Wimbledon final in July.
“Physically I have been as fit or as prepared, as strong as, I don’t want to say as ever, but, I mean, as good as I have been in years and years,” said Djokovic, who swept past 20-year-old Ben Shelton in the last four. “If I lose on Sunday, the tournament, it’s like it’s a good tournament but I’m going to be hell of a disappointed. That’s how tennis is,” said Medvedev.
“So he’s different. It’s just a different mentality. That’s why he has 23 Grand Slams, whatever, Masters 1000s, weeks at number one.”
