The match started very badly for Medvedev, who had to give up his first service game. Hurkacz had opportunities to add another break when the score was 4:1. However, the defending champion did not succeed - and Medvedev actually managed to equalize in the tenth game. The first round was decided in a tie-break - and Hurkacz was ahead with 9:7.
In the second act, Hurkacz set the first exclamation mark again - by getting the breakzum 3:2 in a true marathon game. After the seventh game, the physio had to be on the court and the match could be continued after a short break. But Medvedev shouldn't win a game anymore. after a playing time of 2:04 hours Hurkacz moved into the semi-finals.
Djokovic remains at the top of the world
