18-time USSR tennis champion Anna Dmitrieva explained why she lost to her compatriot Daniil Medvedev by Russian Andrei Rublev in the quarterfinals of the US Open. Dmitrieva quotes “Sports Express”.
“They asked me what Rublev’s chances are. I told him that he could only win if he forced himself to play very actively. And on the back line he succumbed to the pace of Daniil, who was satisfied with such a balanced, stable and reliable game. There were very difficult conditions. They were barely standing. It always seemed to me that they would refuse to play anymore, since the weather was 33 degrees, ”said Dmitrieva.
The match, which lasted 2 hours and 48 minutes, ended with the scores of 6:4, 6:3, 6:4.
In the semi-finals, Medvedev will face the winner of the match between Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Germany’s Alexander Zverev.
Medvedev defeated Australian representative Alex de Minor in the 1/8 final of the US Open. The match, which lasted 2 hours and 42 minutes, ended in 4 sets with the scores of 2:6, 6:4, 6:1, 6:2. Rublev defeated British representative Jack Draper in the fourth round match. The match, which lasted about 3 hours, ended with the scores of 6:3, 3:6, 6:3, 6:4.
