Russian tennis player Daniel Medvedev said that at some point in the Wimbledon quarter-final against American Christopher Eubanks, he began to lose track of the match.
Medvedev (3rd seed) outplayed Eubanks in the quarter-finals 6:4, 1:6, 4:6, 7:6 (7:4), 6:1.
– I won, which means that I will play the next match on center court. I’m happy to have reached the semi-finals.
After the first set, I didn’t want the match to last five sets, when I lost the third, everything changed (smile). I had no choice. There was a time when I lost the match itself, he played very well, I started sinking, making a lot of mistakes, not serving well enough.
In the third set I started pulling something, it helped me in the fourth. I was more likely to serve him. From the tie-break I started to play well, very happy,” Medvedev said in an on-pitch interview.
In the next round, the Russian will face Spaniard Carlos Alcaras (first seed).
“It’s grass, you have to serve well, to be honest, you need a lot of aces, that’s the most important thing. Sometimes you can play the best match of your life on grass and lose in three tie-breaks, nobody will care how you played,” Medvedev said.
Medvedev reached the Wimbledon semi-finals for the first time. Prior to the current draw, his best finish at the tournament was the fourth round in 2021.
