US Open 2023: Daniil Medvedev takes out Carlos Alcaraz, will face Novak Djokovic in final

The 2023 US Open men's single final will be Daniil Medvedev vs. Novak Djokovic, a rematch of the 2021 final, after the Russian took out top seed Carlos Alcaraz 7-6 (3), 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in the semifinals on Friday.

Djokovic defeated unseeded American Ben Shelton earlier in the day to reach a record 36th Grand Slam final.

Medvedev will be returning to the US Open finals for a third time, after beating Djokovic in 2021 for his first and only Grand Slam final and losing to Rafael Nadal in 2019. Djokovic will be playing for his title in New York since 2018, having exited in 2019 with a shoulder injury, been disqualified in 2020 for hitting a linesperson with a ball and missed the 2022 tournament because his visa was revoked over his lack of COVID-19 vaccination.
