This final brings together two players who have won the most wins in the ATP Tour tournament this season. Medvedev, who won 50 wins this season and Nadal (48), both mastered the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in America. Nadal defeated Medvedev at the Rogers Coupe in Montreal. While Medvedev won the Cincinnati Masters.
Nadal's path to the final was traversed with difficulty against Berrettini in the first set. Berrettini, who is the second tennis player to qualify for the semifinals of the US Open, provided extraordinary resistance to force a tie-break. "The first set was a little frustrated because I had a lot of break points before the tie-break and he didn't," Nadal said.
During a tie-break, Berrettini, who held the service, was leading 3-0. He then broke Nadal's serve to lead 4-0. Nadal was then able to control the situation by chasing up to 2-4. Berrettini can stay away again 5-2 to 6-4.
However, Nadal's extraordinary fighting spirit was able to catch up to equalize 6-6. Until finally Nadal won the 8-6 ti-break within 1 hour 12 minutes. '' In the tie-break he was lucky to excel 4/0 and 5/2. But, I was saved when I got a break that changed the situation, '' he said. '' I started playing calmly and more aggressively. I am happy to be able to return to the US Open final, '' continued the world number two.
