To begin with, I would like to apologize to the fans and Novak.
We all know what he wanted to achieve today, ”Medvedev said after the match.
This season, Djokovic has won the Australian Open, Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
Thus, if he won the US Open, he would become the second tennis player in the open era after Rod Laver to win the calendar Grand Slam.
