Faced with the astonishing Christopher Eubanks who had notably taken out in the 2nd round Cameron Norrie, semi-finalist last season and in the 8th round Stefanos Tsitsipas, seeded 5, Daniil Medvedev, led two sets to one, had to draw on his reserves to win in five rounds against the 43rd in the world, brilliant for four sets but dull in the final round. The Russian offers himself a first semi-final at Church Road for his fifth participation. The winner of the US Open 2021 had never done better than an 8th final before at Church Road (2021). The number 3 seed will face the winner of Carlos Alcaraz – Holger Rune on Friday.
