2011 US Open – Men's Singles
defeated defending champion Rafael Nadal in the final 6–2, 6–4, 6–7, 6–1 to win the Men's Singles tennis title at the 2011 US Open. Djokovic claimed his first US Open title, his third Grand Slam of the year, and his fourth Grand Slam overall.
This was also the first time the men's singles champion at the US Open won the title after being match point down since Andy Roddick in 2003, with Djokovic saving two match points against Roger Federer in the semifinals. Remarkably, this was the second consecutive US Open where Djokovic saved two match points against Federer en route to the final and fifth consecutive US Open that Djokovic and Federer played each other. With his semi-final loss, Federer failed to win a grand slam in a calendar year for the first time since 2002.
Andy Roddick and John Isner, who both lost in the quarterfinals, would become the last American men to reach the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament until Sam Querrey reached the quarterfinals at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships, a span of 22 Grand Slams.
This was also the last Grand Slam tournament for two-time Quarterfinalist and former World No. 5 Fernando González and the last US Open appearance for 2003 Finalist and former World No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, 2003 Semifinalist and former World No. 3 David Nalbandian, and former World No. 3 Ivan Ljubičić.Seeds
