The last 10 US Open champions

Novak Djokovic was crowned champion of the 2023 US Open. The Serbian defeated Daniil Medvedev in three sets to claim his fourth crown on American soil and return to the top of the ATP rankings. The match, marked by good returns from Nole and a lot of forcefulness when it came to going to the net, lasted a little more than three hours and was defined by 6-3, 7-6 and 6-3.

With this achievement, Djokovic reached 24 Grand Slam titles, which are divided as follows: 10 Australian Open, 7 Wimbledon, 3 Roland Garros and now 4 US Open. The winning gap increases between Rafael Nadal (22) and Roger Federer (20). A little further behind were Pete Sampras (14), Bjorn Borg (11), Ivan Lendl (8) and Jimmy Connors (8).

During the awards ceremony, Djokovic, who wore a Kobe Bryant jersey, thanked his family for the constant support, commenting that they had to put many things aside for him to follow his passion for tennis. He also took the opportunity to highlight Medvedev's career, predicting that he has many big tournaments to win in his career. He even praised him as the most authentic personality on the circuit, slipping a "never change".

The last big tournament of the year features an interesting diversity of champions in recent years. Despite the hegemony of the so-called Big Four of tennis, five tennis players managed to sneak in and lift the silver trophy from 2014 to 2023.
