24: Tribute to Kobe

The 36-year-old, who also became the oldest US Open champion, bagged his third major championship this year and with a total of 24 Grand Slam titles, he equaled Margaret Court’s all-time record.

Djokovic celebrated his newly achieved record and commemorated late NBA star Kobe Bryant by wearing a special T-shirt with a portrait of Kobe and a "24" printed on it.

Medvedev couldn't repeat his 2021 US Open title success against the same opponent in this year's final.

Djokovic, who has played a record 36 Grand Slam singles finals, will be named as the new world No.1 after winning the competition by passing Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the rankings.
