Novak Djokovic defeated Juan Martin del Potro 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 to win the U.S. Open title. It's the Serb's 14th career Grand Slam singles title—tying Pete Sampras for third all time—and his second consecutive major won, as he triumphed at Wimbledon just two months ago.
Djokovic, the No. 6 seed, missed this tournament last year as he struggled with an elbow injury that ultimately required surgery.
After an overhead smash on match point, Djokovic dropped to his back in elation before embracing del Potro at midcourt. It is Djokovic's thid U.S. Open title and first since 2015.
