Novak Djokovic won his 24th Grand Slam title by beating Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 7-6 (5), 6-3 in the U.S. Open final on Sunday. That added to Djokovic's record for the most major singles tennis championships won by a man — Rafael Nadal is next with 22; Roger Federer, who announced his retirement last year, has 20 — and broke a tie with Serena Williams for the most in the Open era, which began in 1968. Like Djokovic, Margaret Court won a total of 24, but some of hers were earned during the sport's amateur era. Tennis Legends Billie Jean King, Rod Laver, and Others Hail Novak Djokovic for 24th Grand Slam Title at US Open 2023.
