“It was a difficult match with varying successes. Sinner won the first set, then Medvedev responded with his success, but in the third set Sinner was stronger again. It is not always clear why this happens. Often the decisive points go one way and the whole thing becomes one-sided. Psychologically, it is difficult to explain.
The match was interesting, but Sinner was a little more accurate and made fewer mistakes. Perhaps the key moment was Medvedev’s missed shot on the break point at 3:2 in the fourth set. Sinner played with power and confidence, especially in critical moments. He won a well-deserved victory. Medvedev tried to change tactics, played closer to the back line, but it did not give the desired result.
Some considered the match a hidden final, leaving aside other opponents. Draper, for example, serves fantastically and plays with speed and confidence, and he too could be a surprise winner. I do not think that a loss to Sinner will put significant psychological pressure on Medvedev. Before the US Open, he had a difficult series, and reaching the quarterfinals is a good result, especially since he lost to the current best player,” Olkhovsky noted in an interview with a correspondent of “Championship”.
