Sinner Too Sturdy 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 occasions, with the H2H at 7-6 in Medvedev’s favour, though he’s solely gained 1 of the final seven matches.
The newest encounter wasn’t a match for the ages. Neither participant was good, and momentum switched incessantly.
Sinner surged forward with a double-break lead within the first set earlier than Medvedev, after a shaky begin, began to seek out his recreation as he captured the second.
Nonetheless, the match at all times felt like Sinner might take his recreation up a notch to depart 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 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.
Total, Medvedev by no means regarded 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 pictures to combine it up and I believe he wins the title comfortably.
It was very robust. We all know one another fairly effectively. 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 laborious on this facet of the sport. I do know I can enhance quite a bit, particularly going to the web. I attempted to serve and volley a number of occasions, attempting to combine one thing in. I’m very proud of how I did right now, and let’s see how I deal with the subsequent opponent. Sinner on his win.

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 recreation, backed up with a heavy lefty serve, however has proven some stamina points previously.
Based mostly on that, I assumed De Minaur would guarantee he was on the market for 4+ hours earlier than ultimately operating him into the bottom.
Nonetheless, the Aussie, who hadn’t performed since a hip damage at Wimbledon, appeared to worsen 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’t win, as his recreation is constructed on court docket protection.
Draper, alternatively, who additionally acquired therapy for a leg situation, can blaze winners, and as soon as he’d acquired in entrance, he barely regarded again.
Regardless of dropping a 4-2 lead within the second set, he was quickly again on monitor 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 one of the best fitness-wise that I’ve been in a very long time, and I believe that’s the place Alex has type of acquired me previously. I additionally suppose he was perhaps struggling a bit of bit right now with one thing, which could have helped me a bit of bit. However credit score to Alex. He’s a tremendous fighter and an unbelievable participant. We’re going to have many extra battles to come back. Draper on his win.
