Anastasia Pivovarova, former second racket in the world among juniors, believes that the Russian Daniel Medvedev managed to turn the tide in the Wimbledon quarter-finals against American Christopher Eubanks with sets throughout.
Medvedev beat Eubanks in five matches to advance to the semi-finals of Wimbledon for the first time. Before this draw, the 27-year-old Russian’s best result in the tournament was the fourth round in 2021.
– This match, unexpectedly for me, went to five sets. And thank God Medvedev was able to turn the tide of that meeting. He himself laughed in an interview when he was told: “You probably didn’t want to play five sets, but the audience really liked that the match was so long.” Danya replied, “Well, you know, after the first set, of course, I didn’t want to play five sets, but after the third, I really wanted to!” (Laughs). Because he had to go in five sets to win.
Why was the match so difficult? Eubanks played very actively, served well and had a powerful, cutting forehand. He marked Medvedev with this shot. Therefore, it was difficult for Dana to resist him. Medvedev literally knocked out the fourth set on one of his innings. Due to the innings, he kept his matches. Tie-breaks are not always decided in favor of who is stronger: there are often times when luck plays its part. But thank God Danya was able to win the tie-break in the fourth set, and in the fifth the match went more confidently, – Gazeta.Ru quoted Pivovarova.
Medvedev for reaching the Wimbledon final will contend with the world’s first racket Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
