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.
