Sinner beats Medvedev to set up Draper semi-final

Sinner and Medvedev have met at three of the four Grand Slams this year, but this match did not fully reach the high quality of their previous outings.

Sinner came back from two sets down against Medvedev to win his maiden Grand Slam title in Melbourne, while Medvedev got his revenge in another five-set match in the Wimbledon last eight in July.

Asked to serve first, Medvedev was immediately under pressure, having to save a break point before being broken to love a few games later.

Sinner barely missed a step on serve before the start of the second set, when he was drawn into the longer rallies that Medvedev thrives on.

The Russian went up an early break and doubled his advantage after a 10-minute game on the Sinner serve which ended with the Italian dumping a forehand into the net.

With the match level, the momentum swung towards Sinner, who reeled off five games in a row and had three set points on the Medvedev serve to register a dreaded 'bagel'.

Medvedev managed to scrape one game in the third set and went off court to regroup, but immediately had to recover from 0-30 down in his first service game and a break of serve felt inevitable.

Once Sinner secured the decisive break for a 4-3 lead, his quality came through, with victory secured with a stunning forehand winner.

Sinner has lost only two hard-court matches this season and won four titles on the surface, including his Australian Open triumph.

His most recent success was at Cincinnati in August, winning the title the day before news emerged he had been cleared of any wrongdoing after twice testing positive for a banned substance earlier this year.
