In a rollercoaster match at the US Open quarter-finals, Jannik Sinner toppled top seed Daniil Medvedev 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 6-4, sending shockwaves through Arthur Ashe Stadium! 😱🎾
Sinner, who previously beat Medvedev in this year's Australian Open final, proved once again to be the Russian's nemesis at Grand Slam events. Closing out the match with a blazing forehand winner, the Italian star left Medvedev and fans stunned.
\"We knew it was going to be very physical,\" Sinner said after the match. \"It was very tough, we know each other quite well.\"
The match was a true seesaw battle. Medvedev, the 2021 champion, struggled in the first set, racking up unforced errors, while Sinner was on fire, losing only one first-serve point. But Medvedev roared back in the second set, showcasing why he's one of the best in the game.
However, the momentum swung back to Sinner in the third set, leaving commentators speechless as he won the first five games straight. The fourth set was tight, but Sinner seized his chance when Medvedev mishit a forehand in the seventh game.
Despite Medvedev saving a match point and rallying the crowd, Sinner sealed his victory in style, wrapping up the match with confidence.
This win means there will be a new US Open champion on the men's side, with Medvedev being the only former winner in the quarter-finals amid a tournament full of surprises and early exits by top contenders.
Next up, Sinner will face Britain's Jack Draper for a spot in the final. Can he keep this incredible run going? Stay tuned! 🎾🔥
