This is the first grand slam in ages where Djokovic & Federer aren’t going to figure in the latter stages. It makes it exciting & fresh, hopefully Nadal doesn’t win then we will have something new 
Yes, we need some breath of fresh air to see a new champion in their years US Open. The women side has done it, with Bianca Andreescu winning over Serena Williams. So its time for Medvedev to really show his class against Nadal and inject his name in the discussion as the one who will going to replace those ageing tennis greats.
As a Nadal fan I’m hoping he wins this as I don’t think he’ll continue playing for long now, he’s had lots of injuries in the past and it’s only a matter of time before he calls it quits. While many are favouring Medvedev to win I feel Nadal has an advantage because he’s more experienced than Medvedev, and that’ll prove to be the key difference in this match. Serena Williams loosing is not a surprise loss, at her age I don’t think anyone was expecting her to win.
You're right mate. Nadal is still playing at a high level and it is really exciting to watch the match. Medvedev is done, make a good comeback has all the momentum in the final set, but I guess when you are really down with such great tennis player as Nadal, it will be really difficult to climb. But kudos to Medvedev wasn't his time to shine but he is fast rising and climbing the latter and could challenge anyone even the top 3 today.
