1. Records Djokovic is chasing
If Djokovic wins the US Open it will his 21st Grand Slam, one more than Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. The Serbian, for the time being, will be crowned as the most successful male tennis player in the history. It would also be the first time a men's tennis player wins the calendar grand slam since 1969, a feat last achieved by Australian legend Rod Laver. In women's tennis German legend Steffi Graf achieved this rare feat in 1988.
