World number one Novak Djokovic beat Roger Federer in four dramatic sets to win his second US Open and 10th Grand Slam title yesterday.
The Serb won 6-4 5-7 6-4 6-4 in New York and will end the year with three of the four tennis majors.
But the 34-year-old Federer had been hoping to win his 18th major title and his first for three years.
