Daniil Medvedev confirmed his spot in the US Open final after beating Felix Auger-Aliassime with a thin margin in the semifinal on Friday. The match ended with the tallies 6-4, 7-5, 6-2. ,The Russian tennis star, who is seeded at world number 2, is now headed to his third Grand Slam final. Medvedev told the crowd that he planned to watch the match himself after having some dinner delivered. He also urged the audience to see the great match again, according to US media reports. The 25-year-old's opponent for the final game will be decided on Friday night as Novak Djokovic, who is seeded number 1, and Alexander Zverev, seeded number 4, are set to go head to head. “A strange match, a little bit, in the second set, where I think everybody felt like it's going to be one-set-all, and you never know where the match is going to go,” said Medvedev, who trailed 5-2 in the second, Medvedev said after his victory on Friday, according to reports from Associated Press. He added, Managed to save the set points. He missed one volley; I made one good point. And the match turned around completely. Djokovic, who has gone undefeated in major titles like the French Open, Wimbledon and Australian Open, eyes the completion of a calender-year Grand Slam. If victorious, the Serbian tennis star would become the second in the world to acquire the achievement. Medvedev, a 25-year-old from Russia, was the runner-up to Djokovic at Melbourne Park in February and to Rafael Nadal at Flushing Meadows in 2019. This was Medvedev's third consecutive trip to the US Open semifinals. “I don’t think I played my best today,” said Medvedev, who has only dropped one set so far through six matches over the past two weeks, “but I’m really happy to be in the final, according to reports from Associated Press.

last for the four-time Ballon d’Or winner. He has been his team’s standout
performer, scoring four goals and assisting five more — leading the tournament
in both categories. &nbsp;,However, finals for Messi have only led to disappointment having

beating Peru 3-1 in the final. ,With two superstars lining up on opposite sides, the Copa
