Novak Djokovic has become only the eighth man in the Open era to win both the Wimbledon and US Open title within the same season.

On Sunday the former world No.1 overcame a spirited effort from Juan Martin del Potro to prevail 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-3. Matching his idol Pete Sampras with 14 grand slam titles to his name. Djokovic continues an incredible surge on the tour since June where he has dropped just one match in five tournaments played.

Apart from Djokovic’s triumph, the world of tennis continues to debate Serena Williams’ claim of sexism during the US Open final. The WTA has released a statement to back Williams roughly at the same time Djokovic won the match. Raising questions about what will happen next in this highly debated subject.

The US Open men’s final has been decided with Juan Martin del Potro set to lock horns with Novak Djokovic on Sunday.

2009 champion Del Potro booked his place after getting past an injury-stricken Rafael Nadal. Whilst leading the match by two sets, the world No.1 was forced to retire due to a right knee injury. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic breezed past Kei Nishikori in straight sets. The Wimbledon champion is now a win away from claiming back-to-back grand slam titles for the first time since 2016 (Australian and French Open).
