Dominique Thiem defeated Alexander Zverev in a five-set match, 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) to win the men’s singles title at the 2020 US Open. It was the theme’s first Grand Slam title. Became a Grand Slam champion at the US Open for the first time in six years.
The theme went back to losing the first two sets to win three straight sets, including the fifth set tiebreaker to win the match. U.S. The Open men’s singles final has reached this distance for the fourth year in a row.
After beating Novak Djokovic in the fourth round, all three members of the men’s tennis ‘Big Three’ won the 2020 U.S. Open. The men of the Open were missing from the field. Roger Federer will return to the U.S. this year due to ongoing rehabilitation for previous knee operations.
This paved the way for him to become a first-time champion, but his absence also signaled the future of men’s tennis. With the 27-year-old Theme winning the US Open, this could very well serve as the start of a new era. Unlike the game of women’s tennis, which has seen slam winners for the first time in recent years, the men’s game is looking forward to seeing a new name towards the challenge.
