Medvedev upsets Alcaraz to deny US Open blockbuster final

Tennis - US Open - Flushing Meadows, New York, United States - September 8, 2023Russia's Daniil Medvedev celebrates after winning his semi final match against Spain's Carlos Alcaraz REUTERSPIX: Daniil Medvedev shocked defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 6-1 3-6 6-3 on Friday to move into the US Open final, denying tennis fans the blockbuster finish to the Grand Slam season they had been hoping to see.

“I said I needed to play 11 out of 10, I played 12 out of 10 - except the third set, that’s the only way,“ Medvedev said in on-court remarks. “To beat him you need to be better than yourself and I managed to do it.” “The challenge is you are playing a guy who has won 23 Grand Slams and I have only one,“ said Medvedev, who also reached the 2019 US Open final losing to Rafa Nadal.

A routine hold and suddenly a tight contest was looking like a rout, with Alcaraz needing to do something he had never down before.
