2021 US Open: World No. 2 Daniil Medvedev beat world No. 1 Novak Djokovic to win the men’s singles trophy at the US Open. Medvedev beat Djokovic by a score of 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

This is Medvedev’s maiden (first) US Open win as well as his first Grand Slam. The 25-year-old is the third Russian to win the men’s singles trophy at a Grand Slam.

With his win, Medvedev also becomes the first man since Rafael Nadal in 2010 to drop only one set on his way to winning the US Open men’s singles title.

His win also denied Djokovic the chance to win a Calendar Grand Slam and a record 21st Grand Slam title.
