Carlos Alcaraz’s journey ends in US Open 2023, Djokovic and Medvedev will face each other in the final

New York. Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic defeated Ben Shelton in the US Open semi-finals on Friday to reach the final where he will face Daniil Medvedev. Djokovic defeated 20-year-old unseeded American Shelton 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (4) to reach the final for a record-equalling 10th time at Flushing Meadows. This is also his 36th final in Grand Slam.

He could not travel to America last year due to not getting the Covid-19 vaccination, but now the 36-year-old player is just one win away from his fourth title in New York and 24th Grand Slam trophy overall. If Djokovic wins this title, he will become the oldest player to win the US Open in the professional era (starting in 1968). “The truth is, at 36, having reached every Grand Slam final, this could be the last one,” he said. So I think I value the chance of winning another Grand Slam more now than I did 10 years ago. ,

He said, “Don’t know how many more Grand Slam finals there will be.” Djokovic has reached the finals of all four major tournaments this season, winning the Australian Open in January and the French Open in June. On Sunday, Djokovic will face 2021 US Open champion Daniil Medvedev, who defeated defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 (3), 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in the other semi-final on Friday night.

Medvedev had dashed Djokovic’s hopes of completing the calendar year Grand Slam by defeating him in the final at Flushing Meadows two years ago. If Djokovic wins the title, he will surpass Serena Williams for most singles Major Championship wins in the Open era. “This will be another chance to make history,” Djokovic said. Djokovic was seeded second at the US Open and whatever the result on Sunday, he will oust Alcaraz from the number one ranking.
