- Serb takes his 20th tennis major title 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3
- Victory leaves Djokovic needing US Open for grand slam
Novak Djokovic has never been afraid to speak out his ambitions for the world to hear. That was true when he was a novice on the tour and to many his self-confidence was misplaced, and it has maintained deep into his 30s as he has chased down the singular goal of becoming the greatest player of his time, making no secret of what he thought he could achieve.
Over the past 13 and a half years since his marathon began, so much of what Djokovic has meticulously planned for has and continues to be realised. On Sunday, he took one of the biggest steps of his career, recovering from a set down against a valiant Matteo Berrettini to win 6-7(4) , 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 and clinch his men’s record-equalling 20th grand slam title.
