So he wins his game against Daniil Medvedev.
Especially in the third set, Hanfmann showed nerves of steel: first he immediately equalized an early break, then he fended off several break chances at 1:1. With a score of 5: 3 for Hanfmann, Rublev got another break chance - the outsider fended off with a sensational stop. After 2:32 hours of play, Hanfmann sank a forehand for the first match point. And finished with an ace.
