Medvedev took Djokovic to the wood shed. Straight sets beat down, with the usual outburst of anger and smashed racket by the Grumpiest of All Time (GOAT)

What an unbelievable match! They did it amazing and they had a great tournament, but Medvedev was better this time. Congratulations to Daniil for his first Grand Slam victory!

[@tyghr]

The kind of highlights we've been waiting for. Can you please pass the word to the other slams?

[@Kath-N]

As a Nole supporter, I think that if there is any one player who can stop Nole, it is Daniil Medvedev. After that difficult SF against Zverev, Nole did not appear to be 100% fresh against Danill. 2022 will be interesting in men's tennis.

Yeah rafa ruling in 2022 and alca kid is impressive

But here goes the goat rafa n others flattened including the joker.

@@Laland_1196 Nadal,Djokovic and Casper Ruud are dominating 2022 Tennis actually Nadal won 2 major titles Djokovic won 1 major title Casper Ruud reached 2 majors finals in 2022. If Casper Ruud wins US Open title he will become world ranking no 1 also In 2022.

People talk about the shots, pace and serve of Daniil a lot. You need to talk about his biggest asset, his movement. His movement is absolutely so underrated. One of the best on tour. You can't hit through him because he gets to everything. He is very fast, with long arms, and a long stretch stance, so Novak just could not get anything by him. Other than a few bad shots, Novak did not play poorly. Daniil was on another level. Medvedev will have more problems with guys like Roger or Thiem. Roger who can mix it up so well, hit huge approach shots, and put away volleys, or guys like Thiem, who can just blast through almost anyone. Well played.

[@rubbersoul1218]

Med fan here, I was so worried and stressed while watching this live that I thought Djoko was toying with him and might come back at any time like he did in the previous matches, but later realized (as I rewatched the full match) that Med just played so well. He stayed so strong and composed throughout the whole match and really deserves the win. Love you, Dr. Medvedev!

[@jeremytu5492]

Back here after Med lost to Rafa in the AO. Wanted to feel better about his loss bcus he looked so sad 😂

[@bigvaimwailemi4367]

Daniils' UsOpen triumph will be etched in his career for years to come. He clearly meant it when he said he will try stop Novak getting to 21. Stopped he did~emphatically.🙌

[@Nightopian1982]

I've really warmed to Daniil Medvedev now. He's so unorthodox at times, but I enjoy watching him get the crowd going. I sincerely hope he and a few of these other guys start to make proper inroads into knocking the big three off their pedestal. The women's game is so much more unpredictable. Hopefully this will help Medvedev kick on!

Medvedev the only man who gave Djokovic tough time in hard court

[@2P1CK]

Wawrinka?

[@harsh5469]

Gave not anymore. It's 10-5 djokovic now in H2h with med.

[@tsteak1275]

People obviously know Medvedevs strokes are unorthodox but have to understand he is able to hit the ball so well due to his impeccable timing every single time it’s actually ridiculous. He really only gets caught up when he hits a bad volley or delay on his strokes but none the less his skill to turn his defence backhand to an offence is magnificent. This match may be the passing of the torch👍

[@radamelfalcao164]

Yup, and Nadal beat this guy. What a performance!

[@lotus630]

Medvedev really doesn't know how to handle Nadal's slice people say Medvedev is a Djokovic copy, but their results against Nadal on hardcourts are very different so now we're in an interesting situation where: Djokovic beats Nadal more easily than beating Medvedev Nadal beats Medvedev more easily than beating Djokovic Medvedev beats Djokovic more easily than beating Nadal

[@raihanabish9907]

Замечательно , что Даниил выиграл Шлем с Новаком...если бы это было со Зверевым...не так значительно... замечательно, что 3 сета...это говорит про его уровень мастерства... он мог еще 2019 Надаля, но не зватило опыта...ДАНИИЛ ЧЕМПИОН!!!
