Djokovic crowned at the 2011 US Open

In the 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 superiority over Nadal in tactics as well as making 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 from the moment Djokovic returned to his familiar way of constantly 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 a result of 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 set 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 the racket for the 6th time after the total score of 3-1.

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