Serbia’s World No. 1 Novak Djokovic won his second US Open championship by defeating Roger Federer of Switzerland 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 in a scintillating final Sunday night.

My son is six.

Andy Murray was sent packing at the fourth round of the US Open, his earliest Grand Slam exit in five years, while 17-time major victor Roger Federer of Switzerland reached the quarterfinals on Monday.

At Wimbledon Federer had hit the heights in his crushing semi-final victory over Andy Murray before running into Djokovic.

Djokovic is already a legend, but a few more injury-free years could see him become the world’s greatest-ever player.

“It’s something I will work on, and keep moving forward. It was a tough night, but still, I don’t know, thrilling at the same time”.

Djokovic acknowledged the antipathy he received from the New York crowd was a distraction and over the course of three hours and 20 minutes “you do have some ups and downs in concentration”. Federer believes that the Serbian tennis star can win more Grand Slam titles...

Meanwhile, Isner progressed to the fourth round after Jiri Vesely was forced to retire from the tournament.

The 34th-ranked Mayer had given the 17-time Grand Slam champion trouble in their only previous meeting, when Federer saved five match points to win in three sets in Shanghai past year. The 28-year-old Scot faces Frenchman Adrian Mannarino in round two on Thursday.

Or would such a problem force him to consider retirement? Consequently he was running roughshod through the majors. He suffered a first-round loss to Chardy on the Australian Open, exclusively to bounce him in Portugal 4 months later.

The top seed, however, often saves his best for the heat of a grand slam and he never had to leave first gear against Souza, who is ranked 91st in the world and looked out of his depth from the start. He came into this contest on an 11-match losing streak and has never advanced...

Of all the storylines in sport right now, none are more significant than the one about Serena Williams and her historic quest to complete the first Calendar Grand Slam of her career.

“This guy, even when he’s not playing his best, he can beat me the way he did today”. Paire did manage to break back once, but it wasn’t enough as Djokovic proved to be too dominant at the end.

Williams beat Ivanovic in straight sets to win her first Cincinnati title previous year.

Trailing 5-2 in the deciding set after also being 4-1 down in the second, Murray, who rose to number two in the world rankings on Monday, dug deep into his resources to rally for a victory that sets up a quarter-final against Richard Gasquet.
