Serbia's Novak Djokovic won his third US Open title on Sunday evening at Flushing Meadows in New York. The former world number one now has joint third-most number of Grand Slams to his name. He equals Pete Sampras’ 14 Majors and is behind only to Rafael Nadal's 17 and Roger Federer's 20 Slam wins. With this victory, the trio of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer have won 48 of the last 55 Majors.

The final at the Arthur Ashe Stadium was between two most contrasting players on the tour. One of the biggest forehand players, Argentina’s Juan Martin Del Potro was playing the best returner of the game, Novak Djokovic.

Del Potro who was playing only his 2nd Grand Slam final fell short to the experience of the Serbian and lost in three straight sets, 3-6 6-7 3-6.

Here are some of the key highlights from the last Grand Slam of 2018 in Men's Singles and Doubles:
