Djokovic Score Live: Can Novak Win the Grand Slam?

It was a momentous weekend for first-time champions in tennis history. Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams are among the six players to win all three majors in a single tennis season in the Open Era, with only three others achieving this feat at Flushing Meadows. Since Steffi Graf's triumph in 1988, there has been a drought of 33 years without a singles player winning all four Grand Slam events in a season.

The US Open 2021 marked a significant milestone for Djokovic, who had been on a drive to win the calendar Grand Slam since February's Australian Open. However, his bid came to an end as Daniil Medvedev won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

Djokovic's journey to the Grand Slam began with his victory over Medvedev in the Australian Open final. The 'Big 3' - Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal - are now tied atop the men's singles all-time leaderboard, each having won 20 career major titles.

Despite losing, Djokovic's spirit was unwavering. As he addressed the crowd, he expressed his gratitude for their support: 'Tonight, even though I haven't won the match, my heart is filled with joy and I am the happiest man alive because you guys made me feel very special.'

Medvedev's victory not only ended Djokovic's chance at the calendar Grand Slam but also kept him tied with Federer and Nadal. The Russian converted four of eight break point chances while keeping Djokovic to just one of six.

The question remains: can Novak Djokovic win the Grand Slam in the future? Only time will tell, but for now, his impressive season has cemented his place among tennis legends.
