Alexander Zverev, of Germany, reacts after defeating Pablo Carreno Busta, of Spain, during a men's semifinal match of the U.S. Open tennis championships, Friday, Sept. 11, 2020, in New York.For two full sets, Alexander Zverev was confused and listless, his body language as poor as his winner-to-error ratio against Pablo Carreno Busta in the U.S. Open semi-finals Friday.
“Mentally, I stayed in it. … A lot of players would have gone away,” Zverev said. “There’s no easy matches any more. Sometimes you have to dig deep. Today I dug deep, dug very deep.” The No. 3-seeded Medvedev hadn’t dropped a set all tournament until facing Thiem. He’d been broken just three times, a total Thiem matched by Friday’s second set.
Thiem led 4-2 there and raced through that set. Medvedev went up an early break in the second and was two points from taking it while ahead 5-3 and Thiem serving at love-30, but couldn’t came through. Medvedev then held a set point at 6-5 in the tiebreaker and faltered again, even though Thiem felt something in his right heel while chasing a drop shot.
Zverev is the first man to win a U.S. Open semi-final after a 2-0 set deficit since Djokovic did it against Roger Federer in 2011 – and, keeping good company, he’s also the youngest male finalist at any major tournament since Djokovic was 23 in New York in 2010.
