US Open: Medvedev tops van de Zandschulp​​​​​​​

Daniil Medvedev has reached his third consecutive US Open semifinal.

Russia's Daniil Medvedev has reached his third consecutive US Open semifinal, after overcoming qualifier Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands 3 sets to 1. 

Medvedev played with confidence against the Dutchman and took the opening set 6-3, before hammering his opponent 6-love in the 2secod.

However, the Dutch qualifier upped his game in the thirrd, and surprisingly took the set 6-4.

Despite the world no.117 showing some resilience in the 4th, Medvedev was just too experienced and managed to prevail in the tie-break, to end the contest after two hours and 24 minutes.

Meanwhile, Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime reached his first major semi-final at the US Open, as Carlos Alcaraz retired due to an undisclosed injury.

The Canadian led Alcaraz 6-3, 3-1 when the 18-year-old Spaniard called it quits.

Felix is the first Canadian man to advance to the last 4 at Flushing Meadows since the tournament began in 18-81. He will play Medvedev for a spot in the final.
