In the U.S. Open final, against Daniil Medvedev, he battled and even seemed to tire before, as usual, emerging victorious.
, and Djokovic himself had been reincarnated together in the form of one happy phenom. Medvedev is more perplexing. His six-foot-six-inch body has the strange quality of seeming stretched, yet he has an extraordinary ability to balance while bending low and remarkable control while contorting himself. And he can run. Instead of the quick, precise footwork of most top players, he takes long, ungainly strides; his legs gulp the ground. His shots, too, are unorthodox.
But perhaps one moment gave Medvedev some hope. It came only twenty minutes into the match. The two players exchanged ground stroke after ground stroke, the pace of the ball accelerating as the point went on. Medvedev pulled Djokovic wide, then slung the ball down the line. Then back it came crosscourt again: shot after shot. Finally, Djokovic bailed out, hitting a backhand into the net, and stumbled. It was a thirty-six-ball rally.
For all the long points—an astonishing fifty-four of them were nine shots or more—the majority of points, as in most professional matches, were short, four shots or fewer. And, there, Djokovic had the clear edge, winning sixty-three to Medvedev’s fifty.
