The Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic triumphed in the U.S. Open’s men’s singles final last night with a clinical, straight-sets win over Daniil Medvedev of Russia, 6-3, 7-6 (5), 6-3. The stadium swaddled Djokovic with a kind of love he has never felt in New York. He sobbed in his chair as it washed over him before the final game.
Coco Gauff, who burst onto the scene four years ago with a first-round win over Venus Williams at Wimbledon, captured her first Grand Slam title on Saturday, winning the U.S. Open women’s singles final, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, over Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus.
