NEW YORK – Novak Djokovic defeats Roger Federer to win the 2015 U.S. Open title.

After a four-hour rain delay on Arthur Ashe, the U.S. Open men's championship finally got underway. No. 1 Novak Djokovic took the first set vs. No. 2 Roger Federer 6–4, ending Federer's winning streak of 28 straight sets since losing to Djokovic in the Wimbledon final in July.
