U.S. Open men’s final features dream matchup

Sun., Sept. 13, 2015

The blockbuster U.S. Open final between No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 2 Roger Federer today (1 p.m., ESPN) is tantalizing for so many reasons. They have built a long and riveting rivalry, this duo with a combined 26 major trophies – a record 17 for Federer, nine for Djokovic. This matchup will be their 14th at a Grand Slam tournament. It will be the fourth Federer vs. Djokovic meeting in a Grand Slam final, with Federer winning at the 2007 U.S. Open, and Djokovic winning at Wimbledon each of the past two years. “It’s just a straight shootout,” Federer said, “and I think that’s the cool thing about our rivalry.” – AP
