After the extremely spectacular finals in Wimbledon and Cincinnati, the US Open also seemed to be heading for the final thriller that the entire tennis world was eager to see a sequel to. Carlos Alcaraz (20) vs. Novak Djokovic (36). The best the scene currently has to offer.
But the reality looks different. Alcaraz was eliminated in the semi-finals because he “wasn’t mature”. And because there was a Daniil Medvedev (27) who wanted to crash the New York match and, according to his own statements, at a level of “twelve out of ten” in the four-set victory (7:6, 6:1, 3:6 , 6:3). ” played.
Instead of Alcaraz, it is now the Russian who challenges Novak Djokovic in the Arthur Ashe Stadium. It is a finale that promises high entertainment value for other reasons. It is a duel between two provocateurs who leave no one indifferent. And a game with an explosive history.
It was Medvedev who inflicted one, if not the, major defeat on Djokovic’s career in the 2021 US Open final. After Melbourne, Roland Garros and Wimbledon, Djokovic only missed victory in Flushing Meadows to complete the Grand Slam calendar. The first man since Rod Laver in 1969. But the Serbian failed in three sets against Medvedev.
Djokovic for the next milestone
This time the man from Moscow was able to prevent Djokovic from experiencing another historic day. If he beats him again, Djokovic would still have to wait for his 24th Grand Slam title – the mark that would allow him to extend his men’s record and draw level with women’s record holder Margaret Court (81).
Djokovic in turn qualified for the final with a clear three-set victory (6:3, 6:2, 7:6) over American shooting star Ben Shelton (20), but then provoked with his stolen phone celebration, followed by a cold handshake. Medvedev told the crowd after the match against Alcaraz that he found certain bickering ‘not particularly nice’. The feisty Russian certainly has a special bond with New York. Middle fingers, boos, rants – it was all there.
