US Open Glance: Djokovic’s true Slam bid stopped by Medvedev

KIFI

NEW YORK (AP) — Novak Djokovic was stopped by Daniil Medvedev in his bid for the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men’s tennis since 1969. Medvedev won 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 for his first major title. Djokovic beat Medvedev in the Australian Open final, then won the French Open and Wimbledon titles. A victory Sunday would have made him the first man since Rod Laver to win all four in the same year. Instead, Djokovic remained tied with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal with 20 Grand Slam titles, most among men’s players. The top-ranked Serbian also fell to 3-6 in U.S. Open finals.
