Daniil Medvedev Easily Advances to U.S. Open Men’s Final

There have been, however, American successes in other draws.

Robin Montgomery, a 16-year-old from Washington, D.C., reached the girls’ singles final with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Solana Sierra of Argentina.

The Americans Coco Gauff, 17, and Caty McNally, 19, reached the women’s doubles final when one of their opponents, Luisa Stefani, retired during a first set tiebreaker with a knee injury. Rajeev Ram of Indiana won the men’s doubles title with his British partner, Joe Salisbury, beating Bruno Soares and Jamie Murray, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.

Though Ram, 37, is older than Gauff and McNally combined, he said he saw no reason to set a finish line on his career.

“I feel like I don’t ever really put a timeline on it,” Ram said. “I enjoy it. I feel like I’m playing pretty well. Winning stuff like this helps me think that way.”
