Dominic Thiem would face first time
Grand Slam finalist, Alexander Zverev in the US Open final on Sunday after
seeing off Russian counterpart Danii Medvedev in the semifinal.
This would be Zverev’s fourth Grand
Slam finals after he previously lost twice to Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros and
Novak Djokovic at Australian Open in January. He would become the youngest men’s
Grand Slam finalist for a decade. Aged 23 years, the German produced a comeback
against Pablo Carreno to seal an impressive 2-3 win against his opposition.
“It is the biggest goal and also
the biggest dream I have in my tennis career. It was really tough to digest
that loss in Australia as I was super close back then. I’m happy that I gave
myself pretty short time after that another chance with this win,” Thiem said.
“Sunday is going to be extremely difficult. But I’m looking forward to it. I’m in the final of a Grand Slam. The two best players in the world are going to be playing on court,” Zverev said.
