Djokovic reaches his 10th U.S. Open final by beating Shelton in straight sets | CBC Sports
Novak Djokovic secured his spot in the US Open final with a commanding victory over American Ben Shelton. The Serbian tennis star dominated the match with a straight-set win of 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(7-4). Djokovic’s formidable performance displayed his tennis prowess and experience, as he controlled the game from start to finish. Shelton, despite showing determination, was unable to challenge Djokovic significantly.
In an on-court interview, Djokovic expressed his motivation for grand slam events, stating that they inspire him to give his best on the court. His victory also marked his 30-1 record against players competing in their home slam, an impressive feat.
While Shelton fought valiantly, Djokovic’s dominance was evident throughout the match. Shelton did manage to break Djokovic’s serve twice in the final set, leading to a tiebreak, but Djokovic ultimately secured the third set.
At just 20 years old, Shelton’s performance in this year’s US Open suggests a promising future in tennis. Djokovic, on the other hand, is set to compete in his 10th US Open final and aims to win his fourth title. He also has the opportunity to tie Margaret Court’s record of 24 grand slam singles titles.
Djokovic’s next opponent in the final will be determined by the outcome of the semifinal match between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev, with Djokovic poised for another shot at tennis history.
