An hour after roger Federer Struck a most familiar pose, hoisting that silver trophy over his head, another celebration took place at the US Open. Novak Djokovic's family and friends threw him a little party on Sunday night, as if he'd won. Pretty funny but that makes sense, too. Because these days, noone play for the first place in tennis. Everyone basically play for the second place because its almost always sure that Federer is going to win the title.
Federer beat Djokovic in sunday by 7-6, 7-6, 6-4 for the fourth US open tennis and 12th Grand Slam for his life. It was the first time since Bill Tilden in 1920 won the American Grand Slam four years in row. And this is Roger Federer. Federer Earned a Grand Slam record $2.4 million, $1.4 million for winning the tournament and $1 million bonus for finishing atop the US Open Series standing based on performances at hard-court tuneup events.
