Defeat in the second, which lasted one hour and 44 minutes, was a gut-wrenching experience for Medvedev as his opponent showed visible signs of fatigue.

And at the beginning of the third Medvedv cut a disconsolate figure and vented his frustrations at coach Gilles Cervana.

It's not clear what was said between the pair but things got very awkward as the crowd inside Arthur Ashe Stadium listened to their frank exchange of views.

Medvedev lost his serve in the next game but managed to break the 23-time Grand Slam champion back.

However, Djokovic broke Medvedev's serve again at the first opportunity as he sealed a 6-3 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 triumph.

The win sees Djokovic win his 24th Grand Slam, equalling Margaret Court's tally.

A gracious Medvedev said: "First of all I want to ask Novak what are you still doing here? I mean come on.
