Medvedev's Dominance Sends Alcaraz Packing in US Open Semifinals

Daniil Medvedev defeats Carlos Alcaraz in the US Open semifinals, setting up a rematch against Novak Djokovic in the final. Medvedev won the match 7-6 (3), 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, and will be appearing in his third US Open final in five years. Alcaraz, who will relinquish the No. 1 ranking to Djokovic, was aiming to become the first man to win consecutive championships in New York since Roger Federer. Medvedev's victory came after losing to Alcaraz twice this season, and he will now face Djokovic, whom he defeated in the 2021 US Open final to prevent Djokovic from achieving a calendar-year Grand Slam.
