Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz was stunned by third seed Daniil Medvedev on Friday at the semifinals of the US Open, as the Spaniard crashed to just his second grand slam defeat since his title-winning run at last year’s tournament.
Medvedev produced a “12 out of 10” performance, he told reporters afterwards, to defeat Alcaraz 7-6 6-1 3-6 6-3 and advance to his third career US Open final and his fifth career grand slam final. Despite an assured start from the world No. 1, Medvedev saved the only two break points of the first set and later won the tiebreak 7-3 with four straight points, two of which were winners.
He waved his arms up at the crowd who responded with a huge ovation and the two-time grand slam winner went on to take the third set 6-3. Medvedev regrouped in the fourth set and secured a crucial break point after an astonishing seven deuce game to creep closer to a memorable victory. He then sealed the win after fending off three break points in his final service game, and closed out his fourth match point with an overhead smash.
