Medvedev, Shelton determined to play US Open spoilers

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and 23-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic are one victory away from a blockbuster US Open final showdown as they head into the semifinals at Flushing Meadows on Friday.

The 20-year-old Spaniard will face Russian third seed Daniil Medvedev in Friday’s semifinals, a player he has already beaten convincingly on two occasions this season.

On the other side of the draw, Serbian second seed Djokovic – who will take over from Alcaraz as world No 1 at the end of the tournament – faces unseeded American rookie Ben Shelton, the big-serving surprise package of the tournament.
