Novak Djokovic was 'ready for battle' in US Open win

Novak Djokovic said he had come ready for Roger Federer’s attacking game and his fervent home support after beating the Swiss to secure the US Open – his 10th grand slam title.

Federer had swept aside six opponents without dropping a set en route to the final at Flushing Meadows, but his bid for an 18th major title was undone by Djokovic, who won 6-4 5-7 6-4 6-4.
