Novak Djokovic edges past Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the bid for 21st title
Since it’s come down to one final shot at Grand Slam glory this season, we take a closer look as to which players will have a better opportunity to outdo each other. However, with the way things have gone about this season, one cannot find another candidate to choose from besides the Serbian machine, who has won all three Grand Slam events this season.
In case there are any obstacles in the Serb’s way, the second favorite would be Rafa. In recent years, he has registered successful performances on the US hardcourts and if he can recover in time from his injury, he will have a good shot.
