Djokovic crowned at US Open 2011

Early morning of September 13, Vietnam time, the match between the two best tennis players in the world in the men's singles final of the 2011 US Open ended with a well-deserved victory for Novak Djokovic after more than 4 hours of intense and dramatic competition.

They met in 6 finals in 2011, but each time Djokovic showed that Nadal was superior in tactics as well as made more mistakes. The same was true at the US Open, where Nadal was the defending champion. The Spaniard started quite smoothly, winning the first 2 sets, but when Djokovic returned to his familiar way of continuously feeding the ball to Nadal's backhand, he won 6 sets in a row to end the first set with a score of 6-2 after 53 sets.

In the second set, although Nadal adjusted his play, forcing Djokovic to return the ball to his forehand, his impatience caused Nadal to make more double faults and return errors, so the second set still favored Djokovic with the result 6-4.

In the third set, Djokovic continued to maintain his excellent returns of serve and actively attacked to end the match, but at this time Nadal seemed to regain his composure with powerful forehands, forcing the match into a nerve-wracking tie-break and winning with a score of 7-3.

When the score was 2-1 and everyone expected a strong comeback from Nadal, but the desire to win the 4th Grand Slam in his career made Djokovic ignore his back injury and play extremely well in the 4th set. Djokovic continuously had winning returns and forced Nadal to give up his racket for the 6th time after the total score of 3-1.

Thus, in his third time reaching the final, Djokovic became the new champion of the US Open. This was the last Grand Slam title, closing a successful year for Djokovic.
