US Open 2021 News

Novak Djokovic criticized the Wimbledon crowd for being "disrespectful" during his win over Holger Rune. Djokovic will next face Australian ninth seed Alex de Minaur for a place in the semi-finals.

Abu Dhabi tennis event organisers said that they are looking at ‘alternative top female competitors’ to replace Emma Raducanu at the event. 

Emma Raducanu last month became the first qualifier to win a major when she beat fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez of Canada at the tournament, where she never dropped a set.

With the loss in the US Open final, Djokovic missed out on making tennis history by becoming the first man in more than 50 years to win a calendar-year Grand Slam.

The Russian Daniil Medvedev confessed that he did not plan a gift for his wife Daria on their third anniversary and did not have much time as well – so he had to win this final.

The 34-year-old Novak Djokovic was trying to become the first man in over a half-century to win all four majors (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open) in the same year.

Emma Raducanu won the US Open Women's Singles title She defeated Canadian Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 She became the first British woman to win the tournament in 53 years

Emma Raducanu has not dropped a set in New York and completely outmatched 17th seed Maria Sakkari, who reached the semi-final at Roland Garros this year.

The 73rd ranked Leylah Fernandez has stated she could beat anyone and backed up the bravado with victories over four-time Grand Slam winner and defending champion Naomi Osaka in the third round, three-time Grand Slam champion Angelique Kerber in the fourth and fifth seed Elina Svitolina in the quarter-finals.

The 25-year-old Matteo Berrettini had a third shot at derailing Novak Djokovic’s Grand Slam plans on Wednesday but once again could not seize his chance, converting just one of five break opportunities, that coming in the first set.

Leylah Fernandez, who celebrated her 19th birthday on Monday, has shown that she is no ordinary teenager after registering a string of upsets that have made her a Flushing Meadows darling.

In a rematch of the Wimbledon 2021 final, Novak Djokovic will next meet sixth seed Matteo Berrettini in the quarterfinals.

There would be no letdown for Leylah Fernandez after the biggest win of her fledgling career, the youngster soaking up the energy from a seething Louis Armstrong crowd after dropping the opening set to three-times Grand Slam winner Kerber.

Djokovic recovered from losing the first set as he struck 45 winners to move past Nishikori 6-7(4) 6-3, 6-3, 6-2 in three hours and 32 minutes.

Novak Djokovic took another step toward completing the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men’s tennis since 1969 and claiming a 21st major championship to eclipse the mark he shares with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

This year the fans are back but only those who have proof of vaccination and the 18th-seeded Victoria Azarenka admitted confusion over why the rules do not extend to players as well.

Daniil Medvedev, who went from villain to crowd favourite as the runner-up in 2019, won all but one of his first-serve points in the third set and struck five aces past Koepfer, closing out victory in one hour and 48 minutes.

Defending champion Naomi Osaka and men's No. 2 seed Daniil Medvedev got proceedings underway in an action-packed Day One at the US Open 2021 in New York on Monday (August 30). Former champion Andy Murray gave a real scare to No. 3 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas before losing in five sets. In these collection of pictures, we sum up the opening day of US Open 2021.

Following an entertaining, back-and-forth 2-6, 7-6 (7), 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andy Murray complained about what he considered unfair gamesmanship by the French Open runner-up.

It was the first time the pair had met on Ashe since Sloane Stephens defeated Madison Keys in the final four years ago for her first – and thus far only – Major title.
