Winning all four majors in a single tennis calendar year is rare and may not come again. Serena Williams came close in 2015 but was upset by Roberta Vinci in the US Open semifinals. Only five players in the history of tennis have won all four Grand Slams in a calendar year: Steffi Graf (1988), Margaret Court (1970), Maureen Connolly (1953), Don Budge (1938) and Laver (1962, 1969). It is Medvedev's first career Grand Slam singles title.ĭjokovic was attempting to become the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to complete the Grand Slam. With the win, Medvedev played spoiler to Djokovic's bid to become the first man in 52 years to win all four majors - the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open - in the same year, also known as the calendar-year Grand Slam. Daniil Medvedev defeated Novak Djokovic in dominant fashion, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, to win the men's singles title at the 2021 US Open.
