 Novak Djokovic vs Danil Mevvedev is the final of the US Open for the men for 2023. And both have had to fight to get to this stage. Mevvedev entered the tournament and has a number 3 seed and will take on Balash in the first round. This is no problem getting through in straights, 6-1, 6-1, 6-1, 6-love. In the second round he'd take on O'Connell and run away with it in the fourth, 6-2, 6-2, 6-7, 6-2. In the third round he'd take on Baez and after a close third set, Mevvedev would get through in straights, 6-2, 6-2, 7-6. In the fourth round he'd take on Diminor and after dropping the first set, Mevvedev would fight back to win. 2-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals Mevvedev will take on the number 8 seed Rublev. This is no problem for Medi getting through in straights, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to advance to another semi-final of the US Open. In the semi-finals Mevvedev will take on the number 1 seed Karl Zulkras. But this time Medi figured it out, getting the first two sets and eventually the fourth, winning 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 to advance to the final. Djokovic started the tournament as the number 2 seed and will take on Muller in the first round. This is no problem getting through in straights. 6-love, 6-2, 6-3. In the second round he'd take on Marius and again, no problem getting through in straights. 6-4, 6-1, 6-1. In the third round he'd take on the 32 seed Jera. With Djokovic having to come back from two sets to love down, eventually getting through in 5, 4-6, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1, 6-3. In the fourth round he'd take on the qualified Gojo and after a close second set, Djokovic would get through in straights. 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals Djokovic would take on the number 9 seed Fritz. And even though Fritz put up a fight in the third, Djokovic would get through in straights. 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the semi-finals again. In the semi-finals Djokovic would take on the unseded Sheldon. And after winning the first two sets, Djokovic would fight in the third to win. 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 to advance to another US Open final. These guys have played 14 times with Djokovic leading the head to head 9-5. But Medvedev did win their last match in Dubai back in February. And of course we can't forget the last time they played at a slam two years ago at this stage of the 2021 US Open. Medvedev is going to win this one. He's going to have to rely on those memories from two years ago. Of course we know what happened there. It was like a little bit of a different situation too with Djokovic going for history, the calendar slam and all that. But Medvedev needs to get those memories going and remember that he can win against Djokovic in a slam. Also serve well and just rally like he did against Elkvist so well. If Djokovic is going to win this one, he needs to almost put those memories out of his head that he's lost so many US Open finals. It is worse slam if you look at his record. He's won all the other slams pretty well. Except for maybe the French Open but that's Nadal. He has had a lot of random losses though at this tournament including that one two years ago against Medvedev. So he's going to have to kind of keep that out of his head and just rally with Medvedev and maybe wear him down. What a great final. I guess Elkvist Djokovic was the best final but this is the second best final we could have asked for. I'm going to go with Djokovic so the winning four. I don't know if Medvedev could do what he did two years ago. The situation is a little different. Of course Djokovic isn't going for history, not the calendar slam anyway. 24 slams that's what he's going for. I think he might get it in four. But let me know down in the comments below. Who's winning the US Open?
