The first tennis player in the world, and on the other side of the net ranked fifth on the ATP list, a clash between the only two winners of the Grand Slam tournament who reached the top eight in New York this year.
Janik Siner against Danilo Medvedeva in the quarterfinals of the US Open - it sounds a bit strange, but the match, which should start around two and a half hours after midnight our time, is the last big derby of this year's Grand Slam in the United States of America.
Of course, that was primarily influenced by the early elimination Carlos Alcaraz i Novak Djokovic, so the audience at "Artur Eš" may also watch the future champion of the US Open.
- I hope we will have a great match - Medvedev said after he was eliminated Show Boržesa from Portugal in the round of 16.
- I know if I want to beat him, I'll have to be at my best... I've managed to do that several times.
When it comes to the mutual duel, Medvedev leads 7:5, and he celebrated in their last match, a five-set thriller in the Wimbledon quarterfinals.
However, Siner won five of their previous six meetings, including a triumph in the final of this year's Australian Open, when he came back from two lost sets and for the first time in his career "huged" the cup from the Grand Slam tournament.
- I will try to think more about the match at Wimbledon than the one at the Australian Open - joked Medvedev, who won his only Grand Slam at the US Open in 2021 when he defeated Novak Djokovic.
Siner reached the quarter-finals by defeating the home hope To Tommy Polo (7:6, 7:6, 6:1) and seems to have shown in the best way that the scandal surrounding the doping test, which is being talked about a lot these days, does not affect him.
- It was a difficult match, but I believe that I can play even better against Medvedev... Somehow, I always try to take that extra step. I am happy about this victory, but we will move on - said the Italian maestro.
