Novak Djokovic beats Potro to win 3rd US Open

Novak Djokovic clinched his third US Open title on Sunday with a 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 triumph over Juan Martin del Potro, taking him level with Pete Sampras’s mark of 14 Grand Slams.

Djokovic, playing in his eighth final in New York and already the champion in 2011 and 2015, is now just three Slams behind Rafael Nadal and six back from the all-time record 20 held by Roger Federer.

For world number three Del Potro, it was a heartbreaking experience coming in just his second Slam final, nine years after he was crowned USĀ  Open champion before a long battle with wrist injuries pushed him into depression and to the brink of retirement.
