NO
F…KING
WAY
Watching matches like this one makes me think that Pete Sampras, if he came up in this generation, would still be very successful. Obviously he would have to modify his game for modern play and slower courts, but his ability to actually FINISH points at the net, decisively, was so far beyond what I'm seeing from today's players. Medvedev keeps volleying one ball after another back into play for Alcaraz to hit. And how rare is it for players to serve the way Pete did on second serve (watch Medvedev try in that final game)?
Medvedev is not eye 🍭 for the casual fan, his 6 foot six build and lean frame, his lack of obvious machismo, and his offbeat stroke style, but his guts and intelligence and execution are unbelievable. So glad he won this match and giving us a rematch of the final two years ago.
Viva Rusia Viva Medvedev 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🫶🏻🫶🏻🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Made in Russia🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🫶🏻
Why does Medvedev need to do that at the end of the match. He comes out looking like a schmuck. Just take your win and shake the hand of your opponent.
What a pity, seems too many political emotions inside the court. US open become more and more biased……"you are the best", just do it, ban all players you idiot don't like!
Playing against a crowd like that is an impressive feat of mental fortitude. Congratulations to Medvedev!
Crowd cheering for mistakes. Stay classy new yorkers.
very well play, Danill Medvedev!
The crowds in the US open are classless. I am happy to see the classless cowds feel disappointed at Medvedev's win.😂
For a reason Alcaraz did not have the same performance he had against Zverev. Not to take the credit away from Medvedev. He played phenomenal 👏
Drama, suspense and high level playing.
Wow! Medvedev u played a master class game in beating the #1! U made a 360 after the last meeting w alcarez! I predict u will win the US open!
Worst crowd in the whole tour…. Jesus
Alvarez needed that lesson.
Now we’ll see if he learned anything.
Those NY Crowd 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Grande RUSO.. URAA
I’m so mad I missed it live
Great win for Medvedev.. Very happy for him.. He certainly deserves his place in the final.. Watching and listening to the the US Open crowd is almost like watching a SNL skit.. They behave more like a bunch of people who've had WAY TOO MUCH TO DRINK during a championship prize fight; as opposed to actually sitting & watching a professional tennis watch.. It's hilarious how unbelievably LOUD & BOISTEROUS Americans are!! The atmosphere at the US Open is "another universe" when compared to the way fans behave & react during matches at the other Grand Slam tournaments.. Completely DIFFERENT CULTURE here in the wonderful US.. We're absolutely nuts!! And how about the camera admiring all the different celebrities during the match? Wasn't that just lovely? Why not simply show the faces of some "regular people" once in a while? (Good looking women, kids, people wearing unusual looking hats & other attire, weird looking fans, etc..) Would that be such a terrible thing to do? I don't think people like Jimmy Butler, Kevin Durant, Tom Brady, & Charlize Theron would mind.. God knows they don't need any extra publicity!! The final should be A REALLY GOOD ONE.. Djokovic vs Medvedev.. I think the Joker will win, but he'll have to earn it.. Medvedev is an extremely dangerous and underrated player..
Thank God!
Medved 🐻 played his best out of best match ever, well deserved ❤ now lets seeeeeeeee if he can play same level against Djoker
Very happy for Med. Now, go get your second US Open trophy.
What a disgraceful crowd from a disgraceful city where everything is politicized, even the beautiful game of tennis. Congrats to Medvedev for crushing those 23,000 classless celebrities and rich clowns, and hard luck to Alcaraz he’s a great champ.
Medvedev's arrogance makes my stomach turn. And now will we have what we can call The "Final of Arrogance" between N. Djokovic & D. Medvedev?
Not a fan of Medvedev, but also not a fan of Djokovic… Seeing as they’re both in the final, I still hope Medvedev takes out Djoko
Medvedev 1 – Alcaraz with Annoying Crowd 0
Who's that main commentator? I like him
Alcaraz played well here but Medev is back from a holiday break and yeah… hes a real deal. Alcaraz giving away the 2nd set the way he did showed some worrying signs. Nadal in his retiring age was still able to keep Medev under controll and won the game. hmmm
Bajaron de su nube a Alcaraz sin hacer las boberías que hizo
Pretty crappy for ESPN not to show Medvedev’s flag or nationality on the screen.
Underarm serve like nick will win pts since med standing way back
Stop discrimination against male players. Pay them more for playing more, higher ratings, higher ticket sales.
Queen Carlita
it'll take r3t4rd5 another 5 years to realise 'alcara' – drained voice, is just a recycled david ferrer/nadal. not an intellectual player.
Brightest players. 👏👏Hats off Medvedev 🎉
If Alcaraz win tennis will be boring I am glad he lost so he learn that he can lose to more than Djoko so he can focus and be more prepared in the future.
Major respect for Medvedev .. he was not the fan favorite for this match but he gave it his all. You can tell this will be a learning experience for Alcaraz and he will also grow and get better. Props to Alcaraz for being #1 at 20 years old! What an acheivement. They are both incredible. This US Open was a joy to watch. Esp the top 3 were magical – Djokovic, Medvedev, and Alcaraz !BRAVO!
Yay Daniil!!!!!!
Did the crowd support Daniil, or were they idiotic?
Grande MEDVEDEV! 💪💪💪💪
Que buena bajada de humos para el bebé…
This is when the Russian revolution came to New York!
Ping pong didn't work on Medvedev !
Raising hand to ear for crowd cheer has got to stop!!
I wonder who the commentators were going for?? /s
