Medvedev downs American hot-shot Brooksby in Miami

Jenson Brokosby had a good run in Miami but it has come to an end thanks to Daniil Medvedev who won 7-5 6-1.

The Russian is slowly making his way towards the ends stages of the event with solid play and little noise. It's how the Russian prefers to go about his business without drawing too much attention to himself. He certainly entered this match lowkey as Brooksby was able to break him in his first service game for the 1-0 lead. He would hold that lead for the majority of the set but Medvedev broke back at the perfect time.

It was a 5-4 and Brooksby was serving for the set but failed to close it out. The Russian used that swing of momentum to completely turn the match upside down. He took a 6-5 lead with a strong service game after which he broke him for the 7-5 1st set win. The momentum remained on Medvedev's side as the Russian jumped out a 3-0 lead in the 2nd set.
