Talented Russian Daniil Medvedev is into his second US Open men's singles final after conquering Felix Auger-Aliassime — the decider will be against Novak Djokovic or Alexander Zverev.
Daniil Medvedev was a point from finding himself tied at a set apiece in his US Open semi-final against Felix Auger-Aliassime.Daniil Medvedev has continued his excellent record at the US Open, beating Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime in his semi-finalThe Russian will face either world number one Novak Djokovic or Alexander Zverev in Monday's final
Djokovic began the day 26-0 at major tournaments in 2021, with titles at the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon, and his sights on becoming the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to complete a calendar-year Grand Slam. Laver was seated in the President's Box at Arthur Ashe Stadium for Friday's matches.
Auger-Aliassime finally earned a break point more than an hour in, and a double-fault by Medvedev handed over a 4-2 lead, which quickly became 5-2. But when Auger-Aliassime served for that set at 5-3, he couldn't get over the line. A bad backhand ultimately gave away that game, then more mistakes — among them, a double-fault — contributed to Auger-Aliassime getting broken at love to trail 6-5.
The US Open women's final is Saturday, with about as unlikely a match-up as there's ever been with a Grand Slam title on the line: 18-year-old qualifier Emma Raducanu of Britain versus 19-year-old Leylah Fernandez of Canada.
