Novak Djokovic has won the first set of the U.S. Open final against Stan Wawrinka in a tiebreaker.
Djokovic dominated the tiebreaker 7-1 after some shaky moments earlier in the set. He wasted two set points against Wawrinka's serve while leading 5-2, then got broken when he tried to serve out the set in the next game, double-faulting on break point.
But in the tiebreaker, a backhand passing shot by Djokovic put him up 3-1, and he won the next four points to close out the set.

A moment of silence was observed at the U.S. Open to mark the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Broadway performer Norm Lewis, who was set to sing the national anthem in Arthur Ashe Stadium prior to the men's singles final between Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka, asked the crowd to observe the moment ''in memory of those lost 15 years ago today.''
A huge American flag was unfurled over the court, presented by a Brooklyn-based U.S. Marine Corp battalion. Another gesture was painted on the middle of the court: 9/11/01.
Earlier, American Bethanie Mattek-Sands , who wore star-spangled socks and sweatbands while winning the doubles title with Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic, choked up during her victory speech, saying, ''It's a special day today here for everybody in New York.''

Bethanie Mattek-Sands is the first American to win the U.S. Open women's doubles championship since Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond in 2011.
No U.S. player had even reached the final since then, until Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic took the title Sunday.
During the final, which was played on the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Mattek-Sands wore knee-high socks and a left wrist band with the same red-and-white-striped, star-spangled design she did while teaming with Jack Sock to win a gold medal in mixed doubles at the Rio Olympics last month.
During the trophy ceremony, Mattek-Sands choked up and her eyes filled with tears as she told the crowd: ''It's a special day today here for everybody in New York.''
