Sinner Too Robust for Medvedev
Jannik Sinner is the person to beat at this 12 months’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 occasions, with the H2H at 7-6 in Medvedev’s favour, though he’s solely received 1 of the final seven matches.
The most recent encounter wasn’t a match for the ages. Neither participant was good, and momentum switched steadily.
Sinner surged forward with a double-break lead within the first set earlier than Medvedev, after a shaky begin, began to search out his recreation as he captured the second.
Nonetheless, the match all the time felt like Sinner might take his recreation up a notch to depart Medvedev reeling, and that occurred when he received the primary 5 video games of the third set, taking management of the match.
Within the fourth set, Sinner’s stage 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 might win this one, and I assumed Sinner, regardless of not being at his greatest, had the measure of his opponent. I appreciated 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 robust. We all know one another fairly nicely. We performed in Australia this 12 months after which London. We knew it was going to be very bodily. The primary two units have been unusual as a result of whoever made the primary break then began to roll. We tried to work exhausting on this facet of the sport. I do know I can enhance rather a lot, particularly going to the online. I attempted to serve and volley a number of occasions, making an attempt to combine one thing in. I’m very proud of how I did immediately, and let’s see how I deal with the subsequent opponent. Sinner on his win.

Highlights
Draper Denies De Minaur

Draper has a robust baseline recreation, backed up with a heavy lefty serve, however has proven some stamina points up to now.
Based mostly on that, I assumed De Minaur would guarantee he was on the market for 4+ hours earlier than finally operating him into the bottom.
Nonetheless, the Aussie, who hadn’t performed since a hip harm at Wimbledon, appeared to irritate that harm through 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 recreation is constructed on court docket protection.
Draper, alternatively, who additionally acquired remedy for a leg concern, can blaze winners, and as soon as he’d acquired in entrance, he barely seemed again.
Regardless of dropping a 4-2 lead within the second set, he was quickly again on observe with a decisive break within the eleventh recreation 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 kind of acquired me up to now. I additionally suppose he was possibly struggling a bit bit immediately with one thing, which could have helped me a 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.
