The heavyweight champion has retained his title, and he has done it in spectacular fashion.

Novak Djokovic, the No. 1 seed in the U.S. Open, took every shot that No. 2 seed Roger Federer threw at him, and he emerged with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory to win his second U.S. Open championship and the 10th Grand Slam title of his career.
