"can anybody break the dominance of Djokovic?" hmm, last I checked Federer beat him at the French Open and was 1 unlucky return away from doing it in this US Open. Tennis players usually hit their prime around 25. But the fact that Federer, at age 30, almost took out Djokovic on Godmode again speaks volumes about his talent. I fully expect Federer to give more trouble next year. He has the talent and hunger to do it still.

NO THEY CANT!!! Great match. Both for the winner and Nadal gave it their best.

WOW HE BEAT NADAL

Roger indeed can for his talent is vast, much like McEnroe's. The problem is that he has started to oscillate in his game giving first Rapha and now Novak chances to beat him. Rapha is all muscle, but he falls short of Novak and Federer's talents. So if Federer becomes more steady he will continue to win; Nadal does not have a chance unless Novak becomes injured.

this story was terribly written

A glimpse of score line says Djokovic dispatched Nadal as expected, but the way over the course of the match was unexpected, what a grueling and intense! The match was symbolic of modern tennis, bulk of points is made by enduring groundstroke battle that imposes players physical strain, it was shame many players were forced to retirement in the tourney.

Big kudos and props to Djokovic. I love his attitude, effort, execution, and pretty funny personality. Also applause to Nadal, his never-give-up attitude will surely bring him back to the crest, and don't forget to mention G.O.A.T. Roger Federer, king of rude health in tennis who never has had single MTO or retirement in his whole career. Come on Andy Murray!

What a creepy report. This is a talanted athlete, no doubt. Talk about pandering for an interview, yuk. "...and plenty of alcohol too!". No doubt, but there's an eventual outcome to that supremacy too.

Think yes 10 years from now, the boy from the tennis-talent .com will do that...or from tennistalentboy (on Youtube).

Great game for both players.

Agree with above, Federer has had a much longer period of time that he dominated the sport. I do wish Nadal would get his head on straight and knock this guy down a few, djokovic is not quite the class act that Nadal and Federer are.

i feel that Djokovic, Nadal and Federer are equally outstanding, and for years to come, will continue to fully dominate men's tennis. i also believe that betting on who will win between any two of these three in any match is a blind bet, because the winner usually evolves only when luck, timing and risky maneuvering are on his side......

Djokovic made the US Open final with a great deal of luck. It was not that I was looking at Djokovic game but more to the beautiful game of the tennismaster Roger Federer. Tennis has become a money game and It's all about winning but regretfully the quality and the beauty of the tennisgame is gone. I didn't even watch the US Open Final since both players with their double handed backhand and misformed strokes doesn't appeal to me to watch. It's therefore that Roger Federer should be the top tennisplayer and his endorsements don't lie about it.

Well, of course. When you get used to this winnings in a row, it looks like no one will beat him, but when someone does, it looks like he will never win again. But, losing and winning is the point of every game, it's just a sport, it's not a business.

lucky this lucky that...almost this almost that. the man won fair and square. and luck had nothing to do with it. in this day and age – many tennis players are great at their sport, but to be dominant – you have to be able to reinvent yourself. that, i am sorry, federer was never able to do. he became fascinatingly good in the sport, but never did he adapt or play like djokovic last night. stellar job djokovic – enjoy every minute! you deserved it! all other – train harder – it makes for GREAT tennis!

I go along with the article. Well, yes – anyone can beat Novak Djokovic, but this means it has to be a very "off" day for the Serbian. Even great champions have off-days now and then. But "Djoko" is certainly in great form and dominating the circuits.
The Flushing Meadows final was a superb exhibition of not only his great playing, but also of Rafa Nadal's nitty gritty determination, even knowing he was outclassed.
The third set was just one of the best I have ever watched; beautiful rallies and superb shots. Just magical. Sublime.
Bueno, Rafa: a ver si puedes sacar algo para vencer al intratable "Djoko". Y saludos a tu Tio Toni! Abrazos!

u mad bro?

yes, you're right .. Novak is a wonderful combination of mental strength and physical fitness...surrounded by people he loves, good and hardworking professionals, coming from a small country with a strong Serbian people ... these are all elements which are missing Nadal and Federer at the moment

@Chris lee can u be more patetic? LOL
Great game Novak

Thanks ,Chris, don't write off the slam record holder, who brings class, excitement, and elegance to the history of the game,he will win a slam again, and was clearly the greatest of his era , not yet over, nothing to prove,he just loves the game, as we can for health and life

Oh please! He lose twice in one year, so what?! Go Novak!!! We love you! – Srbija -

Lucky Joker.....

GO NOLE !!!! BOTH PLAYERS WERE GREAT, KEEP IT UP !!!

Over the last few years you could have written the headline to this article about both Federer and Nadal. Both were seen as almost invincible while they were going through a purple patch and playing unbelievable tennis. Djokovic is in the zone right now, but it won't last. It never does in any sport. Fed, Rafa, maybe even Murray,Tsonga or Del Potro will hit a rich vein of form and suddenly it'll be "What's the matter with Novak?" Djokovic is having the season of his life and well deserves the applause, but he needs more long-term success to warrant all this invincible, greatest of all-time knee-jerk nonsense inflicted on us by journalists and commentators. It's so boring, sycophantic and self-serving, as if by pointing out the blindingly obvious and laying on the hype with a trowel the perpetrators of this tripe can enjoy some reflected glory. How about some deep analysis of why he's had such a great year, some perspective about his achievements (e.g given the fact some are saying this is the best era of men's tennis ever, does that make Novak's 3 slams the greatest tennis hatrick of all time?), or maybe some discussion about how he can maintain his dominance or how the others might end it? That would be worth reading. As it is, this article comes across as a note from an adoring fan, which the writer may be, but from a journalist we need more objectivity.

chris lee, you are pathetic, just like the sore looser that you support.

Just to clarify.. the Alehandro who called Chris Lee "pathetic" (9/15 at 5.11am ET) is not me, who posted 9/14 at 2.34pm ET....It's a coincidence. I like to think my criticism is more constructive than my namesake's. I enjoy this blog site as a forum for discussion not for name calling.

Just to clarify..the 9/15 @ 4:44 posting is not me.. That was another Alehandro, an imposter!
There can be only one.

Novak is on the rise. He is playing his best tennis right now. He is young and has less to defend. He will keep on accumulating titles as has been done by so many of his illustrious predecessors down memory lane. Good going for the young Serb.
