Novak Djokovic’s men’s record-extending 24th Major singles title might set him on a path towards immortality. The straight-set victory over Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the US Open final drew him level with Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 crowns and made him the first man to win three Slams in a single year four times. Gauff first shot to the limelight at Wimbledon 2019 when she upset Venus Williams on her main draw debut. She made good on that early promise by reaching the 2022 French Open final and subsequently breaking into the top-10. For India, Rohan Bopanna, 43, partnering Australia’s Matthew Ebden, became the oldest man to reach a Major final (Open Era).
