Daniil Medvedev wins the Russian duel in the quarterfinals of the US Open with Andrei Rublev in 3 sets.
Daniil Medvedev taught his buddy Andrei Rublev the next painful defeat at the US Open. With the 6: 4, 6: 3, 6: 4 success, the 27-year-old Russian ensured that his compatriot Rublev, who was two years his junior, did not get past the quarter-final hurdle at a Grand Slam in the ninth attempt. This year, Rublev was eliminated in the last eight at Melbourne and Wimbledon.
In the semifinals against Alcaraz or Zverev
Medvedev, US Open winner of 2021, is in his second major semi-final this year after Wimbledon. There he gets it with the winner of the game between the defending champion and world number one Carlos Alcaraz from Spain and the German Alexander Zverev. The second semi-final is contested by Grand Slam record champion Novak Djokovic from Serbia and the American Ben Shelton.
Hard fought duel among friends
Medvedev and Rublev gave each other nothing at Arthur Ashe Stadium and let their friendship rest for the duel. Rublev, who is the godfather of Medvedev’s daughter Alisa, demanded everything from his counterpart. Especially in round 3 he had his chances. In the heat of New York, however, Medvedev proved to be too strong in the decisive moments and prevailed in 2:48 hours.
