Novak Djokovic won more than a title at the U.S. Open. He charmed crowds that cheered for his opponent in the semifinals and pleaded with him to double fault three years ago.
Djokovic, a 24-year-old Serb, won 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3-7), 6-1 against defending champion Rafael Nadal of Spain last night to capture his third Grand Slam title of the year. He spent much of this tournament playing to the often boisterous fans at the National Tennis Center in New York.
