He has been the villain at Flushing Meadows, but Daniil Medvedev will contest his first US Open final after beating Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets.

Daniil Medvedev first made a name for himself at the US Open by earning the wrath of spectators. Now he's gaining everyone's respect as he heads to his first grand slam final.

Medvedev's tennis was a bit scratchy in the semi, and he barely avoided dropping the opening set, but he did just enough with his mostly defensive style to get past Dimitrov,In Sunday's final, Medvedev will face either 18-time major champion Rafael Nadal or Matteo Berrettini, a 23-year-old from Italy who is seeded 24th.

When they let him hear it at the end of the match, jeering loudly, he basked in it, asking for more noise and sarcastically thanking them. There was a similar display after his next win, too.
