This one means so much.
He has matched Margaret Court's all-time tally of Grand Slams.
And perhaps most remarkably, Djokovic has accomplished that despite competing against Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in the greatest era the men's game has witnessed.
A truly exceptional achievement.

It is career defining victory for Novak Djokovic, and he simply knocked the stuffing out of Daniil Medvedev.
A truly special sporting moment.

All over!
A historic triumph for Novak Djokovic!
A 24th Grand Slam title, a fourth US Open. Djokovic raises his arms aloft before kneeling on the court and letting the emotion out.

But Djokovic will have his first championship point!

Oooh. A double fault.
Medvedev reaches 30-30. The excitement bubbles in the crowd. They want more.

Medvedev makes the perfect start with a forehand winner but Djokovic responds at the net.
Just two points required after Medvedev pulls a forehand long.

Medvedev was rushing through that match and he was not in the mood to hang around.
I think he's going to throw everything at it.

Here we go then.
Novak Djokovic steps up to serve for his record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title.
*Djokovic 6-3 7-6 (7-5) 5-3 Medvedev
Medvedev stays in contention with an accurate first serve, before Djokovic falls agonisingly short with a volley on the stretch.
Great work! Medvedev refuses to fold, and an ace ensues Djokovic will have to serve for the title.

Daniil Medvedev's title hopes hang by a thread, if that.
He needs to raise himself for one final push here to see if he can figure out a way back into the set.
But Djokovic is closing in on the trophy at 0-30.

Novak Djokovic is marching round and he has got energy back in his legs.
He has got nine fingers on the trophy, and he has broken the spirit of Daniil Medvedev as well.

No mistakes here for Novak Djokovic, who punches his way to a love hold.
And now a 24th Grand Slam is within his reach!
The Serb can see the finish line. History is a game away.

That was a poor game from Medvedev, clearly still reeling by what happened to him in that second set.

Medvedev thought he'd found a way back into this match, only for Djokovic to re-establish his third set advantage.
Is that game over for Medvedev? You wouldn't rule anything out after these last few games...
Djokovic 6-3 7-6 (7-5) 3-2 Medvedev*
Novak Djokovic moves up a gear, drilling a two-handed backhand down the line for break point.

I mean, if Medvedev wins this in five, that will surely be the game we look back on as the head-scratching moment Djokovic lost it.
Still, the Serb has his two-set advantage, if no longer a break in the third.
Medvedev takes charge on serve, moving to 30-0, only for a double fault to bring Djokovic level.
Strange moments in this final.

Novak Djokovic is absolutely furious. It is all Goran Ivanisevic’s fault.

Is it Christmas?
Medvedev and Djokovic exchange gifts out on Arthur Ashe, the Russian immediately breaking back as Djokovic's backhand falters.
*Djokovic 6-3 7-6 (7-5) 3-1 Medvedev
It's hard to see a way back for Daniil Medvedev here.
Novak Djokovic doesn't need any help, but he really did gift his opponent that last game.
Can he maintain his belief? That certainly helps!
Remarkably, Djokovic double faults, handing over two break points.

Novak Djokovic really is going point by point now. He is not thinking about the history.
