Dominic Thiem of Austria defeats Russia's Daniil Medvedev in straight sets to reach US Open final for the first time
"Really, really happy to be through and I think it was a great semi-final."
Thiem and Medvedev, last year's losing finalist at Flushing Meadows, traded long rallies with booming baseline forehands. Both also brought their impressive defensive games to court and ultimately the match was decided by Thiem winning points at key moments.The Russian then squandered a 4-2 lead in the second set to lose it on a tie-break.
In set three Medvedev was on set point while serving at 5-3 but Thiem won a 38-shot rally to take game and bring the set back on serve. He then raced to a 5-1 lead that was reduced to 5-4 before he held his nerve to enter his fourth Grand Slam final and second in a row after his appearance in the last-two at this year's Australian Open.
