Look who's at Arthur Ashe Stadium tonight!
21:54
*Medvedev 4-4 Dimitrov: The Russian gets a huge slice of luck on game point, with the ball dropping on the other side of the net after hitting the net cord. Still level in this opening set.
21:50
21:48
Medvedev 3-4 *Dimitrov: That's a nice hold from the Bulgarian. He had to save a break point at 30-40 then played a lovely spun drop shot at deuce and then aced to hold. He edges ahead.
21:42
*Medvedev 3-3 Dimitrov: The Russian switches his racquet and that seems to have made a difference. He had Dimitrov running around the baseline in that last game. He holds. Much-needed.
21:40
21:38
Medvedev 2-3 *Dimitrov: That's a run of three games for the Bulgarian. He secured the hold of serve by coming forward for an overhead smash. Good aggression from Dimitrov.
21:35
Break back... *Medvedev 2-2 Dimitrov: All of a sudden, Medvedev looks a bit unsteady as the Bulgarian draws him into the net. That variety will be key for Dimitrov. He is back on level terms.
21:32
Medvedev 2-1 *Dimitrov: Even this early on in this match, that was an important hold for Dimitrov as he gets on the board. Can the Bulgarian build on that? He's starting to find his feet.
21:30
21:29
*Medvedev 2-0 Dimitrov: The number five seeds hold serve, although he had to fend off two break points after throwing in two double faults and an unforced error. Missed opportunity for Dimitrov.
21:25
Medvedev 1-0 *Dimitrov: Oh dear. Certainly not the best of starts from the Bulgarian who is broken to love. We thought he might see some early nerves from Dimitrov and so it proved. Early break to the Russian.
21:23
Okay, here we go. Dimitrov to serve first. Play.
21:20
The two players are warming up on Arthur Ashe. Which of these two players will start best? Dimitrov doesn't always deal with nerves that well. Medvedev is the favourite to make the final.
21:17
21:15
Medvedev pre-match: "The two days off helped a lot. I feel 100% ready, physically, mentally, tennis wise." Do we believe the Russian? He has struggled with fitness at this tournament.
21:10
21:05
The lights are on at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The crowd is starting to filter in for the night session. Medvedev and Dimitrov will be out on court very shortly. This should be a cracker.

I'm Graham Ruthven and you can catch me on Twitter ahead of the match to let me know your thoughts. Who do you see as the favourite for his one - Medvedev or Dimitrov? Tweet me!
20:50
Making up for lost time! Dimitrov was once tipped for big things, but his career then hit the skids. His quarter final win over Federer, the player he was compared to for so long, exorcised some ghosts.
20:45
Man on form! Medvedev was tipped to make a mark at this year's US Open after winning in Cincinnati and making the final in Washington. He has lived up to that billing so far. Impressive.
