Djokovic US Open winner – Göteborgs-Posten

The tenth Grand Slam title will not be the last for Novak Djokovic.

Novak Djokovic won the US Open for the second time by defeating Roger Federer with setsiffrorna 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.

Through profit at Flushing Meadows in New York has 28-year-old Serb took three of the year’s four Grand Slam tournaments – the only down point was the loss to Stan Wawrinka in the final of the French Open.

– There has been an incredible season. I have been lucky to have had been in such a big success this year, winning three of four, says Djokovic. – It is quite amazing what I accomplished. I am very happy and proud of it.

The finale, however, could have had a different ending for Djokovic. Early in the match, which was three hours late because of rain, he slipped on a wet spot on the court and scratched himself bloody.

– Fortunately it was nothing serious. I just got scrapes. I turned to nothing, I did not hurt me.

More difficult than 2011

Novak Djokovic has now won ten Grand Slam tournaments and only six men has won more. Djokovic is just behind Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver, he has two up to Roy Emerson, four up to Rafael Nadal and Pete Sampras and seven up to Roger Federer.

The title was his second in the US Open, and just like 2011, when he won the first time in New York, he combed home three Grand Slam titles in the same year.

– It was much more difficult this year than in 2011. But I’m certainly a completely different man this year than I was then. I am the father and husband. I feel more complete as a player. Are physically stronger, mentally more experienced and even tougher.

Final Loss suite broken

He has also been in the US Open finals four times – 2007, 2010 , 2012 and 2013.

– I am glad that the tradition of final loss here now is broken, says Djokovic.

The 28-year-old says he has become successful because he always made sure to take care of his body and psyche.

– I want to continue to have the same lifestyle. Hopefully it will give me a long life, and that I can get many years to when I get the opportunity to fight for these trophies.
