Nadal is in his seventh consecutive Grand Slam semi-final, eighth overall at the US Open and 33rd in his career, while Dimitrov is playing in his third Grand Slam semi-final. Medvedev and Berrettini are making their Grand Slam semi-final debuts. Medvedev and Berrettini are both 23 years old. This is the first Grand Slam tournament semi-final with two players 23 (or younger) since last year’s Australian Open with Hyeon Chung (21) and Kyle Edmund (23). The last US Open SFs with two players 23 (or younger) was Juan Martin del Potro (20) and Novak Djokovic (22) in 2009. This is also the first Grand Slam semi-final with three players born in the 1990s: Medvedev (1996), Berrettini (1996) and Dimitrov (1991). One of the three is looking to become the first Grand Slam champion born in the 1990s. There have been two finalists: Dominic Thiem at Roland Garros in 2018-19 and Milos Raonic at Wimbledon in 2016.

The Argentine is 5-16 against Federer with all five wins on hard courts, none more meaningful than when he rallied from a set-and-a-break down to deny Federer a sixth straight US Open title. Del Potro can prevent history from being made again as Federer and Rafael Nadal are one win from meeting for the first time at the US Open. The Swiss and Spaniard have been this close six times now, including in 2009, when del Potro defeated Nadal 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals before beating Federer in the final. • Nadal’s quarter-final opponent on Wednesday is #NextGenATP player Andrey Rublev. The 19-year-old Russian is the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since Andy Roddick in 2001.
