 "An era of greatness that's a pleasure to watch: Twitter reacts to Djokovic-Federer showdown")
Novak Djokovic clinched his third Grand Slam title of 2015 and 10th career major with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 triumph over sentimental favorite Roger Federer in the US Open final on Sunday. Shrugging off a three-hour rain delay and the overwhelming hostility of the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd, the 28-year-old world number one captured his second title in New York to add to his 2011 triumph. The defeat shattered 34-year-old Federer’s bid to become the oldest US Open champion in 45 years and left him marooned on 17 Grand Slam titles, the last of which came at Wimbledon in 2012. Djokovic added the US Open title to his Australian Open and Wimbledon victories this year. Had it not been for a heartbreaking loss to Stan Wawrinka in the French Open final in June, the rock-solid Serb would have been celebrating a rare calendar Grand Slam. As the curtains were drawn on the last major, Twitter reacted to yet another brilliant Men’s Singles Final - mostly in praise for two legends of the game.

Federer was still kicking like a champ, but Djokovic with great killer instinct. Reminded me of Karpov, so focused!

For Roger Federer, another bitter Slam defeat because of his break point shortcomings. 4-for-23 is an agonizing ratio. #usopen

Perhaps an even more brutal stat for Roger Federer tonight: he was 1/11 on break points against Djokovic's SECOND serve. #usopen
