Alexander Zverev will do his best to avoid an upset at Pablo Carreno Busta's hands Friday as the prelude in a night of heated competition.
Zverev and Carreno will face off in the men's semifinals of the 2020 U.S. Open. Fifth-seeded Zverev has dominated his way to this point, but 20th-seeded Carreno undoubtedly will bring his A game to this last-four matchup at Flushing Meadows.
The other semifinal features second seed Dominic Thiem against third-seeded Daniil Medvedev. This matchup also pits players hoping to win a Grand Slam tournament for the first time. Medvedev was the runner up at the 2019 U.S. Open, and Thiem has lost twice in the French Open final.
