To be fair to Djokovic if those Goombas had touched him he'd be half his normal size and I imagine that would have affected his tennis. pic.twitter.com/q7fHJVUmQj

If the world No. 1 is to complete a calendar-year Grand Slam and win a 21st major title, he'll need to complete a comeback from two sets down.#USOpen LIVE BLOG: https://t.co/HI6CbhECf6 pic.twitter.com/6ORswHhrXq
Novak's downfall started in the second set when he broke his racket in frustration and received a warning, from the chair-umpire. He never really looked in control of the match since that moment.
Djokovic lost the final 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to Daniil Medvedev of Russia. Daniil Medvedev's first serve and his aces were the hallmarks of this final. It felt like the Russian controlled the game from the baseline.
At the presentation, Medvedev said that Djokovic is the best player of all time for him!
