US Open Men’s Singles Final: What has been said?
"I understand every time in a Grand Slam final, it's another shot for history," Djokovic said as he closes in on Margaret Court's all-time record.
"I'm aware of it, and of course I'm very proud of it," he added.
"But I don't have much time, nor do I allow myself to reflect on these things or think about the history too much.
"When I did that in the past, like the 2021 final here, I was maybe overwhelmed with the occasion and the opportunity, and I underperformed.
"I don't want this to happen again. I'll try to just focus on what needs to be done and tactically prepare myself for that match."
Medvedev said: "I think the only way I can use [the 2021 final] is thinking that Novak, when he loses, he's never the same after. He's different. It's just a different mentality.
"That's why he has 23 Grand Slams, many Masters 1000s [titles] and weeks at number one," he added.
"So I have to use it knowing that he's going to be 10 times better than he was that day, and if I want to still beat him, I have to be 10 times better than I was that day. That's what I'm going to try to do.
"Novak is going to be his best version on Sunday, and I have to be the best-ever version of myself if I want to try to beat him."
