Tennis calls Novak Djokovic the No. 1 player in the world. Roger Federer probably calls him kryptonite.
Djokovic was Superman once again here Sunday night, beating Federer for the U.S. Open men's singles title with a stirring 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory, in 3 hours 20 minutes.
It is difficult to give proper perspective to the achievements of the 28-year-old Serb. When he took the court, he was not only facing a tennis legend in Federer and his record 17 major titles, but he was taking on one of the most popular players in the history of the game.
