The battleship Medvedev received its first torpedo hit at the US Open on Tuesday in the form of a set won by Botic van de Zandschulp from the Netherlands., the first that the Russian loses so far in the tournament. Still, he beat by 6-3, 6-0, 4-6 and 7-5 at 2:23 and awaits a rival for the semifinals, a round in which he enters for the third time in a row. It will be the one that comes out of the last game of the day, the one played by Felix Auger-Aliassime and Carlos Alcaraz.
Daniil was the only one of the eight tennis players who reached the quarters who had not yielded a single sleeve and last year he reached the penultimate round immaculate and in it he was beaten by Dominic Thiem. Ago was a finalist and pushed Nadal to the limit of the fifth set before dropping to the knee. In this edition he looks like a finalist, despite the symptoms of a certain humanity that he showed against Van de Zandschulp, a player who came from the previous one and was released after fitting a donut in the second set. “I continued with my plan, but he changed his way of playing,” said the Muscovite on Eurosport to justify what happened.
