This Friday, September 10, we will be having the semifinals of the US Open Men’s Singles, where will be measured in the first hour Felix Auger-Aliasiame vs. Daniil Medevev, and in the second hour we will have the duel of Novak Djokovic vs. Alexander Zverev. All point to a Djokovic-Medvedev final next Sunday.
Now, we will have to see if Aliassime or Zverev avoid it. Daniil is very comfortable in these conditions; the US Open courts mix speed with a certain propensity for back-and-forth exchanges and that, for him, is like taking a dip in the pool at home and playing ball with his dog.

Daniil Medvedev vs. Felix Auger-Aliassime
There was, probably, no one who was playing better than the Russian when the tournament started. And it’s likely that no one came into the quarter-final round feeling better than him. Once across the line in the semi-finals, Djokovic said ‘Present’ and the Russian has dropped to the second step. That yes, it is postulated as the biggest threat that will have the Serb in the face of the title, moreover, By tennis, will not be.
The Canadian is a virtuoso of the racket. He has practically all the strokes and, perhaps, the only thing he lacks is precisely where Medvedev can do more damage: his head. With 8 consecutive ATP finals lost, Aliassime is still on a mission to learn how to manage the most tense moments in the matches. Still we believe that at the end of the match will be Daniil Medvedev the winner.
Novak Djokovic vs. Alexander Zverev
If until the fourth round, the Serb had hardly made an appearance. After what we saw last night, we can say that Novak has already reached the U.S. Open. He played the best match of the tournament, so far, leaving an absolutely brutal performance throughout the match. Almost without cracks in his game (a couple of aspects to polish, only), the Serb is launched towards the final next Sunday. The first to try to stop him will be Alexander Zverev.
The German was the first to do so in a long time in the past Olympic Games. The difference, that on that occasion was only the best of three sets. The film changes completely in a match to five sets. There, Novak plays at home. Because to beat Novak you need that, you are the one who dictates the points, not give you time to think or you deploy your tactics. If not, you’ll be dead. The difficult thing is to do it for all those hours and in five sets.
Zverev has already shown that the best of three can do it. Now, the test requires him to do the same, but for several more sets. Can he do it? We will see if he has studied that lesson, but he should know that Djokovic has learned all the tricks to continue advancing to the final. That is why we believe that will access the grand final will be the Serbian Novak.
