Alcaraz’s statements prior to the final
This is what Carlos Alcaraz said just before taking to the court to play in the semi-finals:
“I hope to impose my game, my style. I am very happy to be in the semifinals. It will be a very tactical match, I will try to reduce my mistakes against an opponent who is very good and does not make mistakes. It is a very complicated match.”
It will start late
The US Open was holding a Hall of Fame ceremony at the Arthur Ashe, and once it is over, Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev will take to the court to perform the second semifinal of the tournament.
It is scheduled to start at around 1:11 but there are still many people left to enter the center court of Flushing Meadows.
How do they get there?
For his part, Medvedev, on his way to the 2023 US Open, where he is trying to retain the 2021 title, has also left good feelings.
He debuted against Balazs (3-0) and then faced O’Connell (3-1), Baez (3-0), De Miñaur (3-1) and his compatriot Rublev in the quarterfinals (3-0 ).
How do they get there?
Alcaraz arrived with a lot of confidence at this Grand Slam, where he defends his title, and the sensations could hardly have been better, leaving only one set along the way.
He debuted with Koepfer, who retired after the first set, and then beat Harris (3-0), Evans (3-1), Arnaldi (3-0) and Zverev in the quarterfinals (3-0).
Novak Djokovic awaits in the final
Djokovic advances to the final after defeating American Shelton
The history of tennis reopens its doors for Novak Djokovic. The Serbian genius who passed over the young American Ben Shelton this Friday will play in the US Open final this Sunday and is just one step away from equaling Margaret Court’s legendary record in grand slam.
Face to face between both
Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev have met three times so far. The Spaniard has won the last two times and without losing a set (Wimbledon’23 and Indian Wells’23), and the Russian also won the first duel in straight sets (Wimbledon’21).
Today’s duel will tip the balance more in favor of the Murcian, or will equalize the head-to-head between the two.
The last two US Open champions, face to face
We now begin the narrative of what is undoubtedly the most anticipated match of the tournament, so far. Alcaraz and Medvedev play it not before 1h in the Artur Ashe to face a Novak Djokovic who has just beaten Ben Shelton in three sets.
Good evening and welcome to this live!
