Djokovic took care of Medvedev in first set 6-3 and needed to dig deep to get past Medvedev in the second set. He erased a set point late in the second set but managed to win the tiebreaker 7-5.
It is his 24th career Grand Slam title.
Djokovic last won the U.S. Open in 2018 over Juan Martin del Potro. He lost to Stan Wawrinka in the fourth round of the 2019 tournament and defaulted in the fourth round of the 2020 tournament. Medvedev topped him in straight sets in 2021 and he was barred from participating in 2022 over the U.S. travel policy regarding the coronavirus vaccine.
The lone tournament that eluded Djokovic this year on the Grand Slam schedule was Wimbledon. He lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the final. He won the Australian Open in his return to the country following his deportation over his COVID vaccine status. He then won the French Open.
