The Moscow native forgot that the tiebreaker is played up to seven points and after the fifth goal lost he rested.
“At the end of the first set, I had bad thoughts. When the score was 3-6 in the tiebreak, I thought I had lost the set, so I went home. And at that moment the judge told me: ‘6:3, 6:3, 6:3,’ and I didn’t even hear him at that moment,” Medvedev said in a flash interview right on the court.
Medvedev will play the winner of the match between Zhang Zhizhen (China) and Jan-Lennard Struff (Germany) in the third round of Wimbledon.
