Medvedev defeats Alcaraz 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in thrilling US Open semi-final ensuring the Russian will rekindle his rivalry with Novak Djokovic in the final
in New York with an incredible 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 victory as he returned to the final of the US Open.
This performance served as a reminder of what Medvedev is truly capable of. In his two previous meetings with Alcaraz, on the hard courts of Indian Wells and the semi-finals of Wimbledon in July, the 27-year-old had left with nothing to show for himself. Despite how well he had been playing and the wins he had accumulated leading up to those matches, both times Alcaraz picked the Russian’s game apart.
In reality, Alcaraz played well enough to win the first set. He won 20 of 23 net points, flitting to the net at every opportunity, and struck 16 winners to just nine unforced errors while serving at 83%. But Medvedev played his brand of tennis to perfection when it mattered in the tiebreak, his first serve unimpeachable and he offered Alcaraz nothing at all.
