Rafael Nadal defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 Monday to complete his collection of Grand Slam titles with the US Open crown.

World number one Nadal, 24, won the rain-delayed final after almost three-and-a-half hours of play against the third-seeded Serb Djokovic, who had to settle for the runner-up spot as in 2007 against Roger Federer.
