  1. *Medvedev 0-1 Thiem

    Thiem's one-handed background is gorgeous. Feathery Federery.

    He seals his opener as Medvedev fails to apply enough top spin on his forehand.

  2. Medvedev 0-0 Thiem*

    Thiem's pick up from the baseline is phenomenal - worth his mother getting another tattoo just for that. He ends up losing the point though.

  3. Medvedev 0-0 Thiem*

    30-0. This is already a better match.

  4. Play

    Medvedev 0-0 Thiem*

  5. 'It was getting to a point it was embarrassing'

    Alexander Zverev speaking to Amazon Prime: "I'm extremely happy to be in my first Grand Slam final. There's still one more match - the two guys coming up are extremely difficult to beat. It doesn't matter who I will play, it's going to be difficult.

    I looked at the scoreboard I'm down 6-3 5-0. On paper I'm supposed to be the favourite. I gotta do something. It was getting to a point it was embarrassing. I had to start playing better.

    "I have a 5-1 record against one (Medvedev) and a 2-7 record against the other (Thiem). But Dominic is looking to get into his first US Open final too, so I'm rooting for him."

    Giles Joiner: Fair to say that the better matches in the us open this year have been in the women singles

  8. 'I had to be more aggressive and it turned out well'

    US Open finalist Alexander Zverev: "I looked at the scoreboard and it said 'two sets to love'. I looked and said to myself, 'no chance'.

    The conditions were different today. The ball wasn't as fast but I'm through to my first Grand Slam final and that's all that matters.

    "I knew I had to play better. It's the first time I've come from two sets to love down and win. I couldn't be happier to do it.

    "I wasn't winning too many second serve points. I had to be more aggressive and it turned out well for me.

    "I'll watch the next match. The boys might play a long match too. I can't wait until the final."

    Celebrations for Alex Zverev as he reaches a first Grand Slam final. Celebrations for the rest of the world that the semi-final is over.

    To be fair to Zverev - however bad the first two sets, that was a big effort to come from two sets to love down and rediscover his serve in such style.

  10. David Law
    BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra tennis commentator

    Fair play to Alexander Zverev. Two of the worst sets of tennis I’ve ever seen to go 0-2 down, but he persevered and worked his way back to win from that position for the first time in his career.

  11. Zverev 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 6-3 Carreno Busta

    Zverev goes to his seat and affords himself a smile. Disbelief?

  12. game, set and match

    Zverev into the US Open final

    Zverev 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 6-3 Carreno Busta

    A backhand error and it's match-point two!!

    Another shot into the net and Zverev comes from two sets down to reach his first Grand Slam final.

    Incredible.

  13. Zverev 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 5-3 Carreno Busta*

    No. A great flat forehand winner.

    Deuce.

  14. Zverev 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 5-3 Carreno Busta*

    Zverev goes wide with a forehand from the baseline - bit of a loose shot from the German.

    But he brings up match point as PCB's pick-up at the net is wide.

    Is this it?

  15. Zverev 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 5-3 Carreno Busta*

    Two forehand errors and it's 15-30.

  16. Whiley into yet another final

    A 6-2 6-1 win over Angelica Bernal and Dana Mathewson.

    Brit Jordanne Whiley, the Australian Open doubles champ, last won the US Open doubles title in 2014.

  17. Zverev 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 5-3 Carreno Busta*

    Zverev holds to 15 with a 136mph second serve which is too hot for PCB's racquet.

    Will he seal this win with a break?

  18. *Zverev 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 4-3 Carreno Busta

    Zverev eases off the gas as PCB holds to 15.

    It gets to that stage where you just want to preserve energy for your own service game.

  19. Zverev 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 4-2 Carreno Busta*

    A 24th ace and it's 30 love.

    Zverev eventually holds to 15 with a forehand winner which he punches past his opponent.

    It's a matter of when and not if now.

  20. *Zverev 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 3-2 Carreno Busta

    Another Zverev serve down the T brings up the first point.

    He's a hungry for this win.
