Nadal taken into 5th set in US Open final by resurgent Medvedev

Where did that come from?

Daniil Medvedev has incredibly fought back from two sets down in Sunday's US Open final to force Rafael Nadal into a fifth and final set.

Nadal appeared to be nearing his 19th Grand Slam title - just one below Roger Federer's record of 20 - when he won the opening two sets and broke to go 3-2 up in the third, but the largely unfancied Medvedev then rallied to clinch 7-5 and 6-4 successes.

Medvedev, 23, is chasing his first career Grand Slam and, after seeming to relish being a villain earlier in the tournament, has drawn supportive cheers from the crowd in Arthur Ashe Stadium due to his miraculous recovery.
