Alexander Zverev came from two sets down to beat Pablo Carreño Busta at the US Open and reach his first Grand Slam final
Zverev came from two sets down to beat Pablo Carreño Busta 3-6 2-6 6-3 6-4 6-3 at the US Open and reach his first Grand Slam final. Follow @cnnsport The 23-year-old became the youngest Grand Slam finalist since Novak Djokovic, who was the same age in 2010 when he landed in the final in New York. Djokovic will forever be tied to this year's tournament, having been defaulted -- against Carreño Busta -- in the fourth round when he struck a ball that hit a line judge in the throat.
'I feel safe' at US Open, says Alexander Zverev 04:07Zverev won't be the favorite but perhaps that will suit him, since he appeared nervy to begin his quarterfinal against Borna Coric and again versus Carreño Busta, who moves well, returns well and does just about everything well. Yet he lacks a huge weapon, unlike Zverev.
Alexander Zverev: 'Amazing' to win ATP Finals 01:41Despite the defeat, Carreño Busta will likely be content with his long stay in New York. Besides reaching the last four at the US Open, he also won the doubles title at the warmup Western & Southen Open. He also made the doubles final in 2016 and the men's semifinals in 2017.
