Defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the US Open final to win his first ever Grand Slam title, dropping only one set in the entire tournament. The event received massive attention as his victory stopped Djokovic achieving a calendar year Grand Slam and surpassing Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal with the number of career Grand Slam singles titles won. Age 25, he ended the year as world No.2. He was also the runner-up at the 2019 US Open and the 2021 Australian Open. He has won 13 ATP Tour events in his career, including the 2020 ATP Finals.
