Daniil Medvedev came into the US Open as one of the most in-form players on the circuit and is now into his first Grand Slam final having defeated Grigor Dimitrov in the first semi-final.
Medvedev has reached the final in Washington and Montreal this year and then claimed his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Cincinnati which effectively kick started the hype train for the Russian going into this tournament effectively.
What has ensued has seen the number five seed play brilliantly through injuries and threw hostile crowds who he has made light of all week and his latest win came against Grigor Dimitrov.
Dimitrov of course battled past Roger Federer; but after a close first set didn't have any answer to Medvedev losing the tie in the end 6-7, 4-6, 3-6.
Medvedev's tactic was used to perfection against the Bulgarian; he withstood pressure until Dimitrov's game started to break down and took advantage.
This included five breaks of throw adding to his 28 this tournament up to this point he will hope to use the same tactics when he takes on either Rafael Nadal or Matteo Berrettini in the US Open final.
