— US Open Tennis (@usopen) September 5, 2024As depicted by the scoreline, the quarter-final match-up was quite topsy-turvy as Sinner and Medvedev took turns dominating a set at a time. First, it was Sinner who was superior. Then that role was played by Medvedev. Then Sinner regained the upper hand in the third. In the fourth, from 3-all, Sinner surged, saving a couple of break points, then breaking Medvedev to lead 5-3.
Sinner, who took over as the title favorite after first-week exits by Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, will take on 25th seed Jack Draper of Britain on Friday for a place in the final. The top seed was cleared in a doping case less than a week before the US Open started, after testing positive twice for trace amounts of an anabolic steroid in March.

That day's other semifinal will be world number 12 Taylor Fritz against No. 20 Frances Tiafoe in the first all-American men's matchup at this stage at a Major in 19 whole years.
The 22-year-old Draper entered his first Grand Slam semi-final — and became the first British man to get that far at Flushing Meadows since Andy Murray won the 2012 trophy — by comprehensively beating No. 10 Alex de Minaur 6-3, 7-5, 6-2.

“This is not kind of like an overnight thing for me. I've believed for a long time that I've been putting in the work and doing the right things, and I knew that my time would come,” said Draper, whose upper right leg was taped by a trainer after he felt something at the end of the first set.
“I didn't know when it would be, but hopefully from herecckkbet, I can do a lot of amazing things. I'm very proud of myself.”
