Entering Flushing Meadows after already capturing the 2011 Australian Open and Wimbledon men’s singles titles, the top-seeded Djokovic defeated Federer in a five-set semifinal en route to another showdown with Nadal inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. The Serb avenged his 2010 final loss with a 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-1 to take his first US Open title. On the year, Djokovic would win 70 ATP World Tour matches (including 21 wins over top 10 players), 10 tournaments including three Grand Slams and took home $12.8 million U.S. in calendar prize money, a single-season record.

For the women’s doubles competition, it was the American pair of Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond each winning their second US Open titles but first together as a tandem, knocking off the 2010 defending champions, fellow American Vania King and Kazahkstan’s Yaroslava Shvedova, 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3) in the final. Rising U.S. stars Melanie Oudin and Jack Sock took home mixed doubles trophies and the first Grand Slam titles of their budding careers in a final that saw a super tiebreaker in the third set, vanquishing the co-ed combination of Argentina’s Gisela Dulko and Eduardo Schwank, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 10-8. In Juniors, Britain’s Oliver Golding and Grace Min of the United States won the boys' and girls' titles, respectively.
