US Open 2019 in Review: Daniil Medvedev

Daniil Medvedev arrived at US Open 2019 on a roll, ranked No. 5 in the world and considered one of the favorites to win the final major of the year. Things turned in his third-round match with Feliciano Lopez, when his on-court behavior drew the wrath of the Louis Armstrong crowd. The 23-year-old relished the villain role and encouraged the fans to boo him.

But US Open fans are not easily fooled by theatrics and can appreciate good tennis when they see it. So after Medvedev dispatched of Stan Wawrinka in the quarterfinals and Grigor Dmitrov in the semis, Medvedev won over the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd. This set up a mouth-watering final with Rafael Nadal, one of the greatest - and most popular - champions the sport has known.
