The Mens US Open Tennis 2020 was won by Novak Djokovic.

Djokovic wins the 2020 Men’s US Open

In a repeat of last year’s final, Djokovic again faced off against Medvedev. Djokovic was able to take an early lead and never looked back, winning the match in straight sets. This marks Djokovic’s 18th grand slam victory, putting him just two behind Federer for the most all time.

Djokovic’s Road to the 2020 Men’s US Open

Djokovic’s Road to the 2020 Men’s US Open started with his first appearance of the year at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in Doha. Seeded second, he received a first-round bye before defeating Tommy Robredo and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in straight sets to reach the quarterfinals. However, he was stunned by unseeded 39-year-old qualifier Ernests Gulbis in three sets, despite having a match point in the third set. This was Djokovic’s earliest loss at a tournament since his second-round exit at Wimbledon in 2006 as a 18-year-old. At the Australian Open, Djokovic was seeded second and defeated Jan-Lennard Struff, Federico Delbonis, and Denis Shapovalov en route to the fourth round where he retired against Stan Wawrinka due to a torn pectoral muscle when trailing 2–1 in sets. As a result of this injury, Djokovic withdrew from tournaments in Acapulco and Indian Wells.

Djokovic made his return to action at the Miami Open seeded fourth. In his first tournament since Australian Open, he recorded wins over Hubert Hurkacz, Kyle Edmund and Karen Khachanov to reach the semifinals where he lost to eventual champion Dominic Thiem in three sets despite winning the opening set very easily. At Monte-Carlo Masters, Djokovic was seeded second but lost in his opener against Jérémy Chardy despite having two match points on Chardy’s serve at 5–4 in third set. He then competed at Madrid Open where he was seeded second but lost his opening match against world No. 59 Borna Ćorić for the first time in their five meetings. This defeat meant that Djokovic had failed to make it past round two of any clay court tournament since winning Roland Garros last year

At Rome Masters, Djokovic was once again seeded second but could not take advantage as he suffered a shocking straight sets defeat by 27th seed Lorenzo Sonego who had never before beaten a top 10 player

The 2020 Men’s US Open Final

The 2020 Men’s US Open was a tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts. It was the 140th edition of the US Open and was held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City from August 31 to September 13. This was the third Grand Slam tennis event of the year and the final tennis major of 2020.

Djokovic won his 18th Grand Slam singles title, tying Pete Sampras for third on the all-time list. He also retained his world No. 1 ranking and earned 2,000 ATP Rankings points with the win.

Djokovic’s Reaction to Winning the 2020 Men’s US Open

“It feels amazing. I don’t know how to describe it. I was trying to find words in Serbian, English, whatever language,” Djokovic said in his post-match interview. “This is one of the most special moments of my life.”

What This Means for Djokovic’s Career

Djokovic’s win at the 2020 US Open means that he has now won all four grand slam tournaments in a single calendar year – a feat known as the ‘Grand Slam’. This is an incredible achievement, and cements Djokovic’s place as one of the all-time greats of tennis. It also means that Djokovic has now won a total of 18 grand slam titles, equalling Pete Sampras’ record. With Djokovic still only 32 years old, it is very likely that he will go on to break this record, and could finish his career as the most successful grand slam singles player of all time.

What This Means for Men’s Tennis

This year’s US Open men’s singles tournament was won by Novak Djokovic, who defeated Juan Martin del Potro in straight sets. This is Djokovic’s 14th Grand Slam singles title, and he is now just two behind Rafael Nadal and three behind Roger Federer in the all-time list.

What this means for men’s tennis is that Djokovic is now firmly established as the dominant force in the game. He has won three of the four Grand Slam tournaments this year, and he looks likely to win many more in the years to come. This is bad news for Nadal and Federer, who are both approaching the end of their careers, and it is also bad news for the rest of the men’s tour, which looks increasingly like a one-man show.
