Daniil Medvedev needed 5 sets and well over three hours to crack the Marin Cilic code but the Russian was able to do it 6-7(4) 3-6 6-3 6-3 6-2.
Marin Cilic turned back the clock in the 3rd round of Wimbledon against Daniil Medvedev as the Croatian played great tennis early on which gave him the 2-0 lead. He played great tennis in the first set breaking Medvedev to take a 4-2 lead before giving it back.
He would still win the set in the tiebreak taking it 7-4. Medvedev did not play bad but Cilic was simply stunning especially on serve. Cilic continued playing well in the 2nd set winning it with 6-3 as Medvedev completely faltered in that set playing some of the worst tennis he played at Wimbledon this year.

He got lucky in the 3rd as Cilic came out very erratic in the 3rd set. He was all over the place with his tennis committing 20 unforced errors in the set which was too much to overcome. Medvedev won the set with 6-3 thanks to finally some good play which came on time.
Cilic could not handle the improved level of Medvedev and he was still off committing 15 errors which was enough for Daniil to take advantage of. He won it with 6-3 and continued dominating early in the 5th taking a 4-0 lead.
Medvedev would go on to complete the majestic comeback winning the 5th set with 6-2. He moves on to the 2nd week and he will cherish the break as this match went on longer than he would have liked.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
