☆ Medvedev Stuns Alcaraz to Meet Djokovic in U.S. Open Finals
  + stars: | 2023-09-08 | by ( Matthew Futterman | More About Matthew Futterman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Just when the U.S. Open was on the verge of its dream weekend, Daniil Medvedev did perhaps the most Medvedev-like thing and messed it all up. With a stunning win over Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning champion and 20-year-old wunderkind of the sport, Medvedev, the game’s happy troll, playful wiseguy and unorthodox baseliner took a wrench to the popular plans to watch the next chapter of the Alcaraz’s mounting generational rivalry with Novak Djokovic. Instead of a rematch of an epic Alcaraz-Djokovic final in the tuneup to this tournament three weeks ago, which was a rematch of the Wimbledon final in July, which was a rematch of their semifinal showdown at the French Open in June, Sunday will bring a rematch of 2021 U.S. Open final between Medvedev and Djokovic. On that day, Medvedev, the 27-year-old Russian with the funky strokes, goofy one-liners and dead fish victory celebration, left Djokovic’s quest to become the first man in 50 years to win all four Grad Slam titles in a calendar year in tatters, drubbing the seemingly unbeatable Serbian champion in three sets.

The grass courts are now in session Wimbledon is the only grass court Grand Slam and retains a glamor born from white clothes and impeccable green courts. The grass courts at Wimbledon are grown from 10 metric tons of seed each year, with renovations beginning in September. Until 1974, the only Grand Slam tournament played on a surface other than grass was the French Open, and now Wimbledon is the lone remaining grass Grand Slam. Grand Slam surface history Wimbledon is the oldest of the Grand Slam tournaments and has been held on grass though its entire duration.
