- On Friday, Alexander Zverev defeated Karen Khachanov 6-3, 7-6 , 7-6 in the Open semifinals, advancing the German to his second Grand Slam final of the year.
- Zverev holds a 24-2 record in Grand Slam matches this season and has won 13 consecutive sets at Flushing Meadows after reaching the French Open and Wimbledon finals.
- Seeking redemption, Zverev aims to win the title he let slip away against Dominic Thiem in a previous fifth-set tiebreaker; both were semifinalists at Flushing Meadows but never reached this Grand Slam final.
