US Open: Novak Djokovic cruises to final after comfortable win against American Ben Shelton

CNN — Novak Djokovic sailed into the US Open final with an impressive 6-3 6-2 7-6 (7-4) victory over American newcomer Ben Shelton. Despite Shelton’s strong start, Djokovic dominated the match and controlled the proceedings from beginning to end. In his on-court interview, Djokovic expressed his excitement and motivation to perform at his best during grand slam tournaments. Djokovic broke Shelton’s serve in the sixth game of the match and never looked back, winning the first set 6-3. He continued his momentum in the second set, securing a 6-2 victory. Although Shelton fought hard in the final set, Djokovic’s experience ultimately prevailed, and he won the set in a tiebreak. Djokovic celebrated his win by imitating Shelton’s signature victory celebration. This victory maintains Djokovic’s impressive 30-1 record against players competing in their home slam. Djokovic commended Shelton’s performance and acknowledged the challenge of playing against an American player. Djokovic, who has already reached a record-tying 10th US Open final, aims to secure his fourth title at Flushing Meadows and potentially equal Margaret Court’s record of 24 grand slam singles titles. He will face the winner of the Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev semifinal match in the final, which will be held on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday.
