US Open Tennis 2015 Men's Final: Novak Djokovic's Celebration Quotes, Photos

Steven CookSep 13, 2015

Novak Djokovic might want to buy some real estate in the winner's circle of major championships. He added his third of the year in dramatic fashion Sunday night, topping No. 2 Roger Federer to win the 2015 U.S. Open.

The top-seeded Serbian took down Federer in four sets, winning the tally 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. At no moment until Federer's final shot sailed long did Djokovic's victory seem like a formality, with Federer breathing down his neck.

In the end, Djokovic held off the challenge and did just enough to put Federer away in the fourth, as Bleacher Report noted:

The 28-year-old just keeps adding on to a legacy that is so quickly becoming one of the best ever, despite his age indicating he's in the middle of his prime. Sunday marked the second time in which he's won three majors in a season.

On top of that, he got into the double-digit books of Grand Slam titles and joined just two other active players with such honors, as SportsCenter noted:

Even as he's gotten used to celebrating major titles over the last few years, nothing could make Djokovic's moment Sunday any less special.

There was no dramatic falling to the floor after his winning point, but he did let out a primal roar to his box following an embrace at the net with Federer. Moments later, he climbed several feet up into his box to celebrate with his friends and family.

Not long after that, he was giving his opponent praise as the best in the game's history, as ESPN noted:

Djokovic personally has experience with this, having won three majors in a season previously in 2011. But nothing compares to this one since he now has more family to share it with, as he told U.S. Open Tennis:

As his personal life has evolved into him becoming a father, Djokovic has only become more and more dominant in Grand Slams. He has nearly a third as many titles as he does defeats in majors, as Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch noted:

In many of those instances of late, he's faced Federer and simply been too much for him. After Federer fell to Djokovic at the Wimbledon final earlier this year, it's fair to wonder whether he'll ever be able to top his rival in a best-of-five setting.

But Sunday night wasn't about Federer. It was about Djokovic, who reigned supreme once again when the chips were stacked against him.
