Defending champion Novak Djokovic set up a final with Britain's Andy Murray after a comfortable victory over David Ferrer in the New York sunshine.
Djokovic, 25, beat Spain's Ferrer 2-6 6-1 6-4 6-2 in two hours and 32 minutes to reach his fourth US Open final.
The second seed returned for the resumption of Saturday's suspended match a rejuvenated man, overpowering the fourth seed from the baseline.
He will play Murray in Monday's rescheduled final at 21:00 BST.
Djokovic, bidding for a sixth major title, has beaten the man hoping to become the first male British Grand Slam champion since Fred Perry in 1936 in eight of their previous 14 matches.
The Serbian convincingly beat the Briton at last year's Australian Open, their only Grand Slam final encounter, although Murray gained revenge by defeating the second seed in this summer's Olympic semi-final.
"I don't think there is any clear favourite," said Djokovic of his third consecutive US Open final.
"He's looking for his first title, I'm sure he's going to be very motivated. I hope we can come up with the best tennis for this crowd."
