Novak Djokovic’s return to Flushing went as planned.

The Serbian added his 24th major title to his belt, tying Margaret Court’s all-time mark in a three-set U.S. Open men’s singles final, 6-3, 7-6 (5), 6-3, against No. 3 Daniil Medvedev.

After missing out on the major last year due to a lack of COVID-19 vaccination, Djokovic came back to win the grand slam tournament without facing known challenger Carlos Alcarez.
