Daniil Medvedev can become the first player in the Open era (since 1969) to win the US Open men’s singles title without dropping a set. The 24-year-old Russian, who pushed Rafael Nadal to the limit over five sets in last year’s final, has swept 15 sets at this year’s tournament to reach this point.
Dominic Thiem, 27, has become the first Austrian semi-finalist in US Open history after a near miss in 2018, when he lost a fifth-set tiebreak to Nadal in the quarter-finals. The last player from Austria to knock on the door was the great Thomas Muster, who reached the US Open quarters in 1993, 1994 and 1996.
Alexander Zverev is through to the US Open final. The 23-year-old overcame a dreadful start to win 3-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 over Spain’s Pablo Carreño Busta and become the youngest grand slam finalist since Novak Djokovic at Flushing Meadows in 2010.
Bryan will be here shortly. In the meantime, today’s first semi-final between Pablo Carreño Busta and Alexander Zverev is into the fifth set and you can follow Tumaini Carayol’s minute-by-minute report here.
