Arrr, ye scallywags! Novak Djokovic be claimin' the US Open booty on Sunday's eve, but he be gettin' more than that! The last strike o' the match be deemed the "Moderna Shot of the Day." Aye, a true champion, makin' his mark on the grand stage!
Novak Djokovic emerged victorious in the US Open, defeating Daniil Medvedev in straight sets. This marked Djokovic's fourth triumph in Flushing Meadows, and he also received an additional honor during the match. His play, known as the "Moderna Shot of the Day," involved a return to Medvedev that resulted in the latter hitting the ball into the net, securing Djokovic's win and his 24th Grand Slam title.However, the irony of Djokovic's achievement was not overlooked by social media users. This year's US Open was Djokovic's first appearance since the vaccine regulations were lifted in the U.S., and he was unable to participate in the previous tournament due to his unvaccinated status.
Moderna, a sponsor at the US Open, received some criticism from Aaron Rodgers, who attended one of the matches. Last month, Djokovic expressed no regrets about his decision not to get vaccinated against COVID-19, stating that he had developed a mindset of not dwelling on past choices.
Djokovic's return to the U.S. was met with enthusiastic crowds, even during practice sessions. With this victory, he now holds four US Open titles and has won three out of the four Grand Slam titles this year, with Carlos Alcaraz preventing him from clinching a clean sweep at Wimbledon.
