How many Grand Slam titles has Novak Djokovic won? Serbian star looks to extend record over Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer ahead of US Open final
Novak Djokovic is bidding to win the US Open men's singles title for the first time since 2018.
The three-time champion remains at the top of his game and made it to the final at Wimbledon, only to be beaten by Carlos Alcaraz.
Djokovic's long-term rival Rafael Nadal missed Wimbledon this year through injury and is also absent from the US Open, while his former main competitor, Roger Federer, retired last year.
That trio dominated tennis for years, often exchanging title wins.
But with his two main rivals out of the way, he can cement his legacy as the greatest tennis player to grace the court.
He is currently into the final once again where he will renew his rivalry with Daniil Medvedev, who beat him in the US Open final two years ago.

Meanwhile, Federer recorded 20 Grand Slams across an illustrious career.
However, unlike Nadal, he won the French Open just once.
The rest of the Swiss' major titles are more spread out, but it was at Wimbledon he enjoyed the greatest success.
Federer was extremely popular at SW19 and recorded eight wins, including five in a row.
He recorded five US Open victories and six Australian Open titles.
How many Grand Slam titles has Novak Djokovic won?
The Serbian has won a men's record 23 Grand Slam titles.
His triumph in the 2023 French Open put him one ahead of Nadal and three in front of Federer.
This is the first time in his career that Djokovic has held the record for most Slams won by a man outright.
The former world number one is also the only male player to have won all Grand Slams at least three times.
Does he hold the record?
Djokovic does hold the record in the men's game but is still battling to be first in the all-time standings.
His 23 Grand Slams drew him level with Serena Williams in the Open Era.
However, the all-time feat belongs to Australia's Margaret Court with 24.
But Djokovic can draw level with that should he earn a win at the US Open.
