Aged 25 and in his third final at this level, Medvedev overcame the world number one Serb 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in two hours and 15 minutes of battle, to celebrate his fourth win in nine matches against Djokovic and avenge this year's setback in Australia.

In his second match for the crown in New York, the Russian racket prevented the Balkan from reaching his fourth Grand Slam crown in the same season and break the 20-title 'big' titles embrace with the Swiss Roger Federer and the Spanish Rafael Nadal.
