NEW DELHI: Daniil Medvedev unseated the reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz in a gripping US Open encounter on Friday, paving the way for a rematch of the final from two years ago against the 23-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.
Medvedev secured his spot in the final by defeating Alcaraz with a score of 7-6 (7/3), 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, marking his fifth major final appearance and thwarting Alcaraz's bid to become the first consecutive men's winner in New York since Roger Federer in 2008.
