Meddy’s Maiden Semi-Final 🫡 Medvedev defeats Eubanks in a 5-set THRILLER to make his first Wimbledon semi-final! 🤩 #Wimbledon | @Wimbledon
Daniil Medvedev overcame a strong Christopher Eubanks in the Wimbledon quarterfinals with a score of 6-4, 1-6, 6-4, 7-6(4), 6-1.
The Russian didn't have an easy match against the 27-year-old American. Eubanks had been the surprise package at the 2023 Wimbledon, defeating the 12th seed Cameron Norrie and 5th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas on his way to the quarterfinals, where he faced former world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev.

In the first set, Medvedev started strong with his serve, hitting 74% of first serves in and winning 85% of those points. He didn't face any break points against him and capitalized on the first break point given by Eubanks in the third game to take a decisive lead in the set, winning it 6-4.
In the second set, Eubanks managed to counter Medvedev's serve. Although Medvedev had an 89% first serve success rate, he only won 50% of those points. This time, Eubanks took advantage of two break points in the fourth and sixth games, leveling the match with a 6-1 set win.
Eubanks maintained his concentration and took the third set, this time by a score of 6-4, capitalizing on the only break point in the set, with both players improving their serving. Eubanks displayed aggression, hitting 14 winners and 6 unforced errors, while Medvedev had to dial back his aggression, hitting 8 winners and only 2 unforced errors.
When things seemed very difficult for the Russian, he brought out his best tennis and showcased his caliber, firing 10 aces in the fourth set. Only one unforced error compared to Eubanks' 16 helped Medvedev take the set to a tie-break, which he won 7-6(4).
Everything came down to the fifth set, where the nerves seemed to affect Eubanks, who lost his first service game to love. Another break in the third game allowed Medvedev to quickly take a 4-0 lead. In the seventh game of the match, Eubanks again lost his serve to Medvedev, who had a declining level, especially towards the end of the match.
In the Wimbledon semifinals, Medvedev will face the winner of the match between world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and Danish player Holger Rune.
