Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev to resume their rivalry in the US Open 2023 final
Novak Djokovic will try to win his 24th Major title when he takes on Daniil Medvedev in the championship match at Flushing Meadows on Sunday. The Serb has been in respectable form at this year's New York Slam. He made light work of the unseeded Ben Shelton, beating him 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(4), earlier on Friday (September 8).
The 36-year-old will face familiar foe Daniil Medvedev in the summit clash in New York. Medvedev overcame top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz during their last-four encounter later in the day. The Russian defeated the young Spaniard 7-6(3), 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 to advance to the final.
The championship match on Sunday will mark the 15th time that Novak Djokovic and Daniil Medvedev face off on the ATP tour. While the Serb leads his younger rival by a margin of 9-5 in their head-to-head meetings, it was the Russian who came out on top in their last Grand Slam match, in the 2021 US Open final.
