The Russian tennis player made a surprise in the semi-finals of the US Open after defeating the first seed, Carlos Alcaraz, 3-1 (7-6, 6-1, 6-3 and 3-6) and advancing to the final where he will play against Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz was in terrible form and was considered a big favorite in this match, but the Russian once again showed that he can be brilliant at the US Open. This will be an opportunity for revenge for Novak Djokovic who lost to Medvedev in the US Open final in 2021. Then the Serbian was chasing a calendar slam, but the Russian played a masterful game and won 3-0.
