Djokovic's victory sets him up for a potential record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title. He is now just one major title away from surpassing Federer and Nadal's 20 Grand Slam titles.
How Djokovic Can Equal Federer's Record
To equal Federer's record, Djokovic must win the US Open title.
Djokovic's Chances of Winning the US Open
Djokovic is the top seed at the US Open and is considered the favorite to win the tournament. He has won the US Open three times before, in 2011, 2015, and 2018.
Djokovic's Competition
Djokovic will face some tough competition at the US Open, including Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Alexander Zverev.
However, Djokovic has a strong record against all of these players. He has a 3-1 record against Medvedev, a 5-2 record against Tsitsipas, and a 6-3 record against Zverev.
Djokovic's Form
Djokovic has been in good form leading up to the US Open. He won the Wimbledon title in July and reached the semifinals of the French Open in June.
Djokovic is also well-rested, having had a few weeks off before the US Open.
Djokovic's Chances of Ending Federer's Streak
If Djokovic wins the US Open, he will end Federer's 16-year streak of reaching at least the semifinals of every Grand Slam tournament.
Federer has reached the semifinals of every Grand Slam tournament since the 2005 US Open.
However, Djokovic has a good chance of ending Federer's streak. He is the top seed at the US Open and is in good form.
