Daniil Medvedev overcame a second set scare to swat away the challenge of Felix Auger-Aliassime and seal his place in his third grand slam final in New York. The Russian second seed was soon back to his commanding best against the young Canadian, wresting the set from his grasp and ultimately racing to an impressive 6-4 7-5 6-2 success. It proved the crucial moment in the match as Medvedev duly claimed back-to-back breaks to take the set and strangle any chance his inexperienced opponent had of pulling off an improbable victory. 'It was a strange match because I didn't feel like I played my best,' Medvedev said in his on-court interview. 'Everybody thought it was going to be one-set all but I managed to save the set points and the match turned around completely.
