When Daniil Medvedev reached his first U.S. Open final in 2019, he lost a gruelling five-set match against Rafael Nadal after what he called a 'crazy' tournament, including a feud with the New York crowd.

"Let's be honest, I was already happy being in the final," the Russian said of the 2019 tournament. "I was not feeling like it's a must to win." His 2019 U.S. Open was far more eventful. He said he endured severe cramping in his second-round match and suffered a tear in his quadriceps during a win over Stan Wawrinka.
But his subsequent apology, and his riveting performance in the final after dropping the first two sets, turned him from villain to hero.The 25-year-old is still searching for his first major title after losing to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final earlier this year.
