2011 US Open – Men's singles

Novak Djokovic defeated the defending champion Rafael Nadal in a rematch of the previous year's final, 6–2, 6–4, 6–7(3–7), 6–1 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2011 US Open. It was his first US Open title and fourth major title overall.[1][2] Djokovic saved match points en route to the title, saving two against Roger Federer in the semifinals.[3] This was the second consecutive US Open where Djokovic saved two match points against Federer to reach the final, and the fifth consecutive US Open where Djokovic and Federer played each other. With the loss, Federer failed to win a major in a calendar year for the first time since 2002. With the win, Djokovic became the most recent man to win Wimbledon, the Canadian Open, and the US Open in the same season,[4] and the first since Federer in 2006.
