Every tennis fan is excited about the US Open this year. Why? Novak Djokovic could make big history on Sunday by winning his 24th grand slam title. But, Daniil Medvedev, a top player, is ready to challenge him.
Djokovic has had a great year. He tied with Rafael Nadal's record at the Australian Open and set a new men's record at the French Open. Even though he didn't win Wimbledon, he has a big chance at the US Open.
Medvedev is also in top form. He's good on hard courts and has beaten Djokovic before at the US Open. He knows Djokovic is a tough player but believes he can win if he plays his best.
Remember, the last time they played in a big match, Medvedev won. After that, he almost won another big title in 2022 but lost to Nadal.
Djokovic has a chance to make more history. If he wins, he will be the oldest player to win the US Open since 1970. This will be his 101st match at the US Open. He knows every big match is special.
Djokovic has played well to get to the final. Only once did he have a tough match against Laslo Djere. Medvedev has also played great this year. He's reached five big finals and won four times.
Both players really want to win. Medvedev says you have to "fight to the end" in big matches.
For fans ready to watch, the match starts at 4p ET on Sunday. People in the US can watch on ESPN, and UK fans can see it on Sky Sports. Get ready for a great tennis match between two top players!
