It was the 2023 US Open men’s singles final. Novak Djokovic was into the fourth major final that year, having already won the Australian Open and the French Open titles. Additionally, he was looking to become the first player to win 24 major titles in men’s singles. The Serb didn’t disappoint as he went on to defeat Daniil Medvedev in straight sets to create history. A year after winning the title, Djokovic has already set his sights on creating another piece of history by dropping a sensational glimpse into his latest gear.
