Novak Djokovic on the importance of routines<\/h3>\n

Novak Djokovic was reduced to tears during his 2021 US Open defeat against Daniil Medvedev. The duo will meet again in the showdown on Sunday inside the Arthur Ashe Stadium, where there are likely to be some emotional memories for the 23-times Grand Slam champion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Djokovic was on course for a calendar slam heading into the final major of the year. The tennis icon had won the Australian Open, Wimbledon and the French Open – and hoped to complete a rare feat at Flushing Meadows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, he was ultimately stunned by Medvedev on Arthur Ashe, with the Russian winning in straight sets that all ended 6-4. It was a match largely overshadowed by the tremendous feat of Emma Raducanu, who won the women\u2019s singles final 24 hours earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it was an emotional moment for Djokovic, who admitted to crying on the court. He had received a standing ovation as Medvedev served for the match, while some supporters chanted: \u201cNole! Nole! Nole!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt something I never felt in my life here in New York,\u201d Djokovic explained afterwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crowd made me very special. They pleasantly surprised me. I did not expect anything, but the amount of support and energy and love I got from the crowd was something that I\u2019ll remember forever.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the reason on the changeover I just teared up. The emotion, the energy was so strong. It\u2019s as strong as winning 21 grand slams. That\u2019s how I felt, honestly. I felt very, very special. They touched my heart, honestly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end of the day you want to win. You\u2019re a professional athlete. These are the kind of moments that you cherish. These are connections that you establish with people that will be lasting for a very long time. It was just wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Medvedev, whose triumph sealed his first and only Grand Slam success to date, admitted he felt \u2018sorry\u2019 for Djokovic. The current World No 3 revealed he had wanted Djokovic to complete the calendar slam.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, I have my name a little bit in the history,\u201d Medvedev reflected. \u201cI didn\u2019t let him win the calendar year Grand Slam and I feel really sorry for him because I would, in a way, like him to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
