Top seed Jannik Sinner stormed into the US Open semifinals with a hard-fought 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Daniil Medvedev in a quarterfinal clash that swung wildly back and forth. Sinner, who had defeated Medvedev in the Australian Open final earlier this year, once again proved too strong for the Russian, ending his hopes of a repeat Grand Slam triumph in New York. The match was a seesaw battle of attrition, with both players showcasing their incredible skills. Sinner dominated the first set, dropping only a single point on his first serve. However, Medvedev roared back in the second set, capitalizing on Sinner’s unforced errors and taking control of the match. The momentum shifted again in the third set, with Sinner winning five straight games to regain his footing. The fourth set was tightly contested, with both players pushing each other to the limit. Medvedev attempted a late surge, saving a match point in the ninth game, but Sinner proved too strong, sealing the match in the next game with a forehand winner. This victory marks the end of Medvedev’s bid to defend his 2021 US Open title, while Sinner advances to face Britain’s Jack Draper for a spot in the final. With all the top contenders experiencing early exits, the US Open men’s singles tournament is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable in recent years.
