Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev secured his spot in the US Open final by defeating top seed Carlos Alcaraz in a thrilling match. Medvedev’s victory means he will face Novak Djokovic in the final, setting the stage for an exciting showdown between two of the sport’s top talents.
Medvedev displayed exceptional skill and determination throughout the match, winning with a score of 7-6 (7-3), 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. The win ensures there will be no repeat of the Wimbledon final between Alcaraz and Djokovic, as the Spanish top seed’s reign as US Open champion came to an end.
Djokovic, on the other hand, dominated young American Ben Shelton, moving one step closer to a record-equalling 24th major title. The Serb won 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4), closing in on Margaret Court’s historic tally.
Medvedev’s victory sets the stage for a highly anticipated final against Djokovic, who he faced in the 2021 US Open final. Djokovic was not allowed to enter the United States for last year’s tournament due to being unvaccinated against Covid-19. Now, he is back in the final and aiming for a fourth US Open title.
The final promises to be a must-watch match between two tennis giants, and fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome.
