Players who have combined to reach 41 Grand Slam finals clash when second-ranked Novak Djokovic meets third-ranked Daniil Medvedev at the 2023 U.S. Open final on Sunday at 4 p.m. ET at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows, N.Y. This is the third meeting between the two this year. Djokovic posted a 6-3, 6-4 win in the semifinals at Adelaide in January, while Medvedev earned a 6-4, 6-4 semifinal victory at Dubai in March. The pair have met 14 times in their careers, with Djokovic holding a 9-5 edge.
Djokovic is listed as the -250 favorite on the money line, while Medvedev is at +190. Djokovic is looking to win his third Grand Slam of the year after reaching the final in all four events in 2023. The only loss so far came against Carlos Alcaraz 1-6, 7-6 (8), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 at Wimbledon.

Onorato, who holds dual degrees in finance and economics from the University of Miami, does extensive research before placing any tennis bet.
