It was raining in New York, but the wind was not strong winds on the tennis throne.
Novak Djokovic is secure.
Super Serbian defeated Roger Federer in the US Open final and could figure in the year’s third Grand Slam title.
he continues at this rate, he can have a powerful collection of prizes than Federer the day he bows out.
Rain shower after rain fell over Flushing Meadows, but three hours and 20 minutes after the scheduled start time it came in time, the US Open final. As had now become night in New York and the evening became night in Sweden, but celebrities such as David Beckham, Sean Connery, Robert Redford, Anna Wintour and Hugh Jackman was patiently waiting at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Football Icons, Hollywood legends and fashion queens are all very well, but on this night, no star shone stronger than Novak Djokovic. He’s a little too good to be true, the 28-year-old Serb. “Nole” grew up in Belgrade, moved at age 13 to Nikola Pilics tennis academy in Munich and lived for many years in Monte Carlo, but he plays tennis like he comes from another planet.
Djokovic took advantage poor Serve
Roger Federer has lowered opponent after opponent with his knockout tennis and reached the final without setförlust. He had just lost two serve game on his trip to the title game, but also history’s greatest tennis players have a superior.
The Swiss serviced bad in the first set, only put 53 percent of first serves and exploited understood Djokovic. The world’s best returnerare acquired no less than eight break points in the first set and took advantage of two of them.
Broke down Federer’s mental
The 34-year-old Federer, who was playing his first US Open final since 2009, came back in the second set, but the whole time I felt like this was Djokovics match. And that was it.
“Nole” broke down Federer, not physically but mentally. Huge master plays his best tennis on the most important points, and the Serbian showed how it works in practice. With large parts of the audience and legends against him, he played dream tennis when it most needed.
He was in trouble in the third set, but saved two break points at the score 3-4, serviced home gamete and broke Federer Serve at 5-4.
He was in trouble in the fourth set when he was about to lose a 5-2-lead. Federer had three break points at 5-5 but Djokovic had an answer for everything.
On the first break ball he sent away the match the best second serve, on the other he thundered in a cannon serve and on the third he challenged both lines and Federer.
It is not luck.
That’s how they play, the greatest of all great players.
Which tennis is treated to from time to time. It reminded more about the revolver duels than stroke changes. Pang, Pang, Pang. Djokovic and Federer’s shot from the hip, hard, precise and ruthless.
Djokovic won only two points more than Federer (147-145) in the final, but he won the right points. He saved 19 of 23 break points and took advantage himself six of 13. Then he stood there, with another sparkling dent over the head.
Novak Djokovic now has ten Grand Slam titles in price cabinet, and will probably be more . 28-year-old has won nine of the 21 last Grand Slam tournaments, made it to seven finals, reached four semi-finals and quarter-finals.
This year he won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the US Open, and there’s nothing that says he will not be as dominant in the coming years.
Roger Federer’s record of 17 Grand Slam titles do not stand at all times. It can be beaten by the man who was number is larger in this year’s US Open final.
His name is Novak Djokovic, and he fits securely on the tennis throne.
