"I just took advantage of some of his missed first serves" - Tsitsipas on beating Medvedev

It was certainly the case as the Russian struggled a lot with his serve, especially compared to his outing against Taylor Fritz.

Overall it was a very competitive match between two players who have had their moments on the courts before. He understood that he needed to take the match from Medvedev and he did, commenting on it after:

"There were some difficult shots I had to play a bit more. A few short balls I really took advantage of and came in. A lot of courageous serve and volleys, approaches to the net that definitely gave me that great win today.”

On Medvedev's serving issues Tsitsipas added that it gave him more time to think which was helped with execution:

"He kept missing a lot of first serves consecutively and that gave me some time to think of my next move a little bit clearer. He gave me a double fault on break point, which I think was very important moment for me psychologically to give my best shot. I was a few games away and I was very calm and concentrated in every single task that was given to me."
