Medvedev advances to US Open final as Djokovic eyes SlamRussia's Daniil Medvedev advanced to the US Open final on Friday by defeating Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime. Medvedev, the 2019 US Open runner-up, reached his third Grand Slam final by eliminating 12th seed Auger-Aliassime 6-4, 7-5, 6-2. "I don't think I played my best today but I'm really happy to be in the final," Medvedev said. Medvedev, who lost to Djokovic in this year's Australian Open final, trails Zverev 5-4 in their all-time rivalry and trails Djokovic 5-3. By beating Zverev to reach the brink of the Slam, Djokovic would match Federer's all-time record of 31 men's Slam final appearances.
