Medvedev Wins Late-Night Thriller At US Open

Spoiler:

Russian to face Dominik Koepfer in Round of 16
As the clock struck midnight, Daniil Medvedev wrapped up Day 5 at the US Open with a highly entertaining victory over Feliciano Lopez.

A physical clash from first ball to last, Medvedev outlasted Lopez 7-6(1), 4-6, 7-6(7), 6-4, after three hours and 19 minutes of hard-hitting tennis. The World No. 5 equalled his best result at a Grand Slam, having also reached the Round of 16 at the Australian Open this year. It marks his first second-week appearance in New York.

It was a war of attrition as Medvedev fought past Lopez in a roller-coaster affair that concluded at 12:04am on Louis Armstrong Stadium. He fired 55 winners, including 27 aces, while surviving 85 net approaches by the Madrid native.

The drama was palpable on Armstrong and the New York crowd got firmly behind Lopez as the match wore on. An agitated Medvedev had the home fans against him as the match got underway, but the Russian fed off the high-octane atmosphere.

Despite squandering a 5-3 lead and dropping the opening set in a tie-break, Lopez immediately snatched the second set with a break in the first game. The Spaniard would draw level just 38 minutes later, raising his arms in the air and calling on the New York faithful to rally behind him. You could cut the tension with a knife as the third set entered a tie-break, with the veteran saving a set point with a lunging volley. But two points later, Medvedev finally got the better of Lopez to seize the set.

The Russian would not look back from there, sprinting to a 3-2 lead in the fourth set with a perfect baseline-to-baseline backhand lob. And he would seal the victory on his first match point with a backhand winner.

Medvedev closes out the month of August with a staggering 17-2 record, also including final appearances at the Citi Open in Washington, Coupe Rogers in Montreal and title at the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati. He owns a tour-leading 47 match wins - and 33 on hard courts - this year.

Medvedev Makes First Slam QF At US Open

Spoiler:

Russian could meet Djokovic for fourth time this season in QF
Daniil Medvedev downplayed talk of him being a favourite at this year's US Open. The World No. 5, who beat Novak Djokovic en route to his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Cincinnati last month, said he hadn't even reached a major quarter-final yet.

But the let chatter begin in earnest now. The fifth-seeded Russian reached his first Grand Slam quarter-final on Sunday, beating German qualifier Dominik Koepfer 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 7-6(2) to setup another potential matchup with the World No. 1 from Serbia.

“I was completely focussed,” Medvedev said. “I think it was an amazing match. Of course it's tough to say when you're playing it and not watching it on TV, but I honestly think it was a Top 10 match, both from me and from him.”

Medvedev will face the winner of Djokovic, the top seed and defending champion, and 2016 titlist Stan Wawrinka, who face off later Sunday evening in Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Djokovic leads his FedEx ATP Head2Head series with Medvedev 3-2, including a four-set win earlier this year at the Australian Open. But Medvedev has won their past two meetings, on clay at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters in April and on 17 August at the Western & Southern Open. The Russian beat Wawrinka two years ago at Wimbledon during their only FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting.

“I have huge respect for both of them. They are both amazing champions of our sport,” Medvedev said.

The Russian rebounded from a slow start as the Louis Armstrong Stadium crowd cheered on the underdog Koepfer, who was steadier than Medvedev from the baseline in the opener.

The 25-year-old German had been having the tournament of his life. Before the US Open, Koepfer had only one Grand Slam win to his name (Wimbledon 2019) and he was trying to become the first qualifier to reach the US Open quarter-finals in 11 years (Gilles Muller, 2008).

“It was a goal to qualify. I didn't expect to go into the fourth round,” Koepfer said.

Watch Highlights


But the German was playing in his seventh match of the past two weeks, and as the fourth-round tilt wore on, the rallies he was taking in the opening set increasingly went to Medvedev, who, only two weeks ago, proved steadier than Djokovic from the back of the court. The Russian used angles to keep Koepfer on the move and dug his way out of trouble on serve, often going big – 121 mph – on his second serve.

Koepfer, behind chants of “Let's go, Koep-fer!”, looked to mount one more rally in the fourth set, but Medvedev shut down any opening the German saw. The fifth seed broke back in the third game and at 1-2, down 0/40 on serve, Medvedev won five straight points.

A shaky start – a double fault and a wild forehand – set Koefper back in the tie-break, and Medvedev didn't give anything away.

“I went on the court and thought, 'Okay, I'm going to play flat, going to wait for some unforced errors from him, probably he's going to be nervous, first fourth round in his life,'” Medvedev said.

“And he was playing all the lines. He was, let's say, destroying me. It was 6-3, 2-0. I just didn't know what to do.I did something I would not be capable of one year ago, I started playing as aggressive as I could, taking the ball as early as I could, which I usually don't do. That's why I won, and that's why this victory is even more precious.”

Medvedev Moves Into US Open Semi-finals

Spoiler:

Russian also qualifies for Nitto ATP Finals in November

It wasn’t always pretty, but a taped-up Daniil Medvedev drifted away from his traditional baseline-dominated game on Tuesday afternoon with net-rushing tactics to work his way into the US Open semi-finals.

Medvedev, who saved one set point in the first set tie-break, booked his place in a first Grand Slam championship semi-final with a 7-6(6), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 victory over 2016 champion Stan Wawrinka in two hours and 34 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

By becoming the youngest semi-finalist at Flushing Meadows since Novak Djokovic (23) in 2010, the 23-year-old Russian also secures his spot at the Nitto ATP Finals, the elite season finale to be held at The O2 in London from 10-17 November.

Medvedev, who has won an ATP Tour-best 49 matches this year, now has two days to rest ahead of a clash against third-seeded Swiss Roger Federer, the five-time former champion, or Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria on Friday. Federer leads Medvedev 3-0 in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series and is 1-1 against Dimitrov.

Medvedev broke No. 23 seed Wawrinka in the first game, but brutal rallies and seven double faults eventually proved to be costly for a player who initially had tape on his right thigh, before having it cut off. Wawrinka got back into the match with a break at 4-5, but Medvedev regrouped and won the first three points of the tie-break courtesy of net approaches and drop shots — far from the 23-year-old's normal baseline-dominated game. Wawrinka worked his way to 6/5, but with time on a forehand struck it wide.

Wawrinka’s inability to gain a foothold or a period of consistency in their second FedEx ATP Head2Head meeting gave rise to Medvedev breaking for a 3-1 advantage in the second set. Medvedev began to strike with greater fluency and, coupled with his varied tactics, it forced Wawrinka to respond. Having committed 21 unforced errors in the first set, Medvedev cut it to four in the second set.

Wawrinka, who has recovered from 0-2 sets down on six occasions in his career, won eight of the first nine points in the third set. He later overcome four break points when serving for the set in a 12-minute game at 5-3, finally closing out on his third set point to keep alive his hopes.
