Novak Djokovic's loss in the U.S. Open final on Sunday denied him a calendar-year Grand Slam but the Serbian world number one said he was just happy his chase for perfection was finally over.
Djokovic was left in tears after his taxing bid -- both physically and emotionally -- to become the first man since 1969 to win the year's four Grand Slam ended in a surprisingly one-sided loss to Russian second seed Daniil Medvedev."I was glad it was over because the build up for this tournament and everything that mentally, emotionally I had to deal with throughout the tournament in the last couple of weeks was just a lot. It was a lot to handle.
"My legs were not there. I was trying. I did my best. Yeah, I made a lot of unforced errors. I didn't have -- no serve really," said Djokovic. "I was below par with everything, to be honest. So just one of these days where unfortunately, yeah, wasn't meant to be." Djokovic, who has yet to earn the same level of admiration bestowed on his rivals Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal, said the tears were the result of a feeling he had never experienced before from the New York crowd.
