Read our privacy policy Daniil Medvedev knows he will have to be the “best-ever version” of himself if he is to win a second US Open title. “Novak is going to be his best version on Sunday, and I have to be the best-ever version of myself if I want to try to beat him.” Medvedev’s only grand-slam title to date came in that 2021 Flushing Meadows final, a straight-sets win over Djokovic. That’s what I’m going to try to do.” Djokovic is bidding to become the oldest New York champion in the Open era, surpassing 35-year-old Ken Rosewall in 1970. “Knowing that it’s going to be the toughest challenge, without a doubt, not just because it’s a final but also because of who I’m playing, the last time I faced him in a grand-slam final I lost.”
