Sinner Too Robust for Medvedev
Jannik Sinner is the person to beat at this yr’s US Open, and he brushed apart Daniil Medvedev 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 6-4 to safe a spot in his third main semi-final of the season.
The 2 have now met 13 instances, with the H2H at 7-6 in Medvedev’s favour, though he’s solely gained 1 of the final seven matches.
The most recent encounter wasn’t a match for the ages. Neither participant was good, and momentum switched ceaselessly.
Sinner surged forward with a double-break lead within the first set earlier than Medvedev, after a shaky begin, began to seek out his sport as he captured the second.
Nevertheless, the match at all times felt like Sinner may take his sport up a notch to go away Medvedev reeling, and that occurred when he gained the primary 5 video games of the third set, taking management of the match.
Within the fourth set, Sinner’s degree dropped briefly, permitting Medvedev a sniff, however the Italian saved two crucial break factors at 2-3. He then secured a decisive break and transformed his second match level on his serve.
General, Medvedev by no means seemed like he may win this one, and I believed Sinner, regardless of not being at his finest, had the measure of his opponent. I preferred that he threw in some serve-and-volley performs and drop photographs to combine it up and I believe he wins the title comfortably.
It was very powerful. We all know one another fairly properly. We performed in Australia this yr after which London. We knew it was going to be very bodily. The primary two units had been unusual as a result of whoever made the primary break then began to roll. We tried to work onerous on this facet of the sport. I do know I can enhance rather a lot, particularly going to the web. I attempted to serve and volley a number of instances, making an attempt to combine one thing in. I’m very pleased with how I did right this moment, and let’s see how I deal with the subsequent opponent. Sinner on his win.

Highlights
Draper Denies De Minaur
With Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic each within the backside half of the draw, Jack Draper is an unlikely semi-finalist, however he’s there with out dropping a set, his newest win being a routine 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 victory over Alex de Minaur.
Draper has a robust baseline sport, backed up with a heavy lefty serve, however has proven some stamina points previously.
Based mostly on that, I believed De Minaur would guarantee he was on the market for 4+ hours earlier than finally operating him into the bottom.
Nevertheless, the Aussie, who hadn’t performed since a hip damage at Wimbledon, appeared to irritate that damage throughout the first set.
By that time, he was already down a break, and the tone of the match had been set. If the Demon can’t run, he can not win, as his sport is constructed on courtroom protection.
Draper, then again, who additionally acquired therapy for a leg situation, can blaze winners, and as soon as he’d bought in entrance, he barely seemed again.
Regardless of shedding a 4-2 lead within the second set, he was quickly again on monitor with a decisive break within the eleventh sport and simply clinched the third set, dropping solely six factors on serve.
I believe I performed a strong match. I really feel the most effective fitness-wise that I’ve been in a very long time, and I believe that’s the place Alex has type of bought me previously. I additionally assume he was perhaps struggling a little bit bit right this moment with one thing, which could have helped me a little bit bit. However credit score to Alex. He’s a tremendous fighter and an unbelievable participant. We’re going to have many extra battles to return. Draper on his win.
