Credit to Djokovic for even attempting the golden slam. Following Wimbledon the safe move would have been skipping Tokyo and preparing for US Open. History still awaits in NYC! 👏

True Champions care for the sport. Federer, obviously hurting, didn’t retire or default. He tried. And gives Djokovic a proper win. Gives the tournament the headline match ppl paid to see. And Djokovic acknowledges that. Match wasn’t great. Sportsmanship was.

If Serena Williams beats Maria Sakkari (Noon ESPN) she'll become the first player ever with 100 career wins in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Serena is 99-13 on Ashe. The player with the next-most wins there is Federer. He’s 77-11. Ashe was built 1997.
