Sinner Too Sturdy 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 instances, with the H2H at 7-6 in Medvedev’s favour, though he’s solely gained 1 of the final seven matches.

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.
Nevertheless, the match at all times felt like Sinner may take his recreation 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 stage dropped briefly, permitting Medvedev a sniff, however the Italian saved two essential 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 appeared like he may win this one, and I believed Sinner, regardless of not being at his greatest, had the measure of his opponent. I favored 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 properly. 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 laborious on this side of the sport. I do know I can enhance so much, particularly going to the online. I attempted to serve and volley a number of instances, making an attempt to combine one thing in. I’m very proud of how I did at the 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 strong baseline recreation, backed up with a heavy lefty serve, however has proven some stamina points up to now.
Based mostly on that, I believed De Minaur would guarantee he was on the market for 4+ hours earlier than ultimately 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 recreation is constructed on court docket protection.
Draper, alternatively, who additionally obtained remedy for a leg subject, can blaze winners, and as soon as he’d obtained in entrance, he barely appeared 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 recreation and simply clinched the third set, dropping solely six factors on serve.
I believe I performed a strong match. I really feel the very best fitness-wise that I’ve been in a very long time, and I believe that’s the place Alex has kind of obtained me up to now. I additionally suppose he was possibly struggling somewhat bit at the moment with one thing, which could have helped me somewhat bit. However credit score to Alex. He’s an incredible fighter and an unbelievable participant. We’re going to have many extra battles to return. Draper on his win.
