But even though the men's draw was missing several big stars, as both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are out with injuries (defending champ Dominic Thiem is also absent due to a wrist injury), we're not without a huge storyline.
No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic isn't just out to pass Nadal and Federer for the most Grand Slam titles in history. His 21st major would finish his calendar year Grand Slam, which no man has done since Rod Laver.
After beating Kei Nishikori, dispatching Matteo Berrettini, and taking all five sets to knock out Alexander Zverev in an Olympic-sized rematch, Djokovic's made it to the finals. Today's Novak Djokovic vs Daniil Medvedev live stream will show if the Serbian ace can beat his rival in another Open final, as they last met at the end of the Australian Open.
Over on the women's side of the US Open, the tournament concluded on Sunday with Emma Raducanu defeating Leylah Annie Fernandez. She won in straight sets (6-4, 6-3), and praised the field after her victory.
