Daniil Medvedev has been the one player at the US Open navigating his way through the draw with little fuss with his latest tie seeing a clinical 6-4, 6-1, 6-0 win over Frances Tiafoe.

Medvedev grabbed the last eight games and took 17 out of the last 20 points with the Russian not dropping a set all week. He has only been broken three times as well meaning he is very much wasting no time.
”I was lucky enough to get the early break, relax a little bit and then I started playing amazing tennis after that,” Medvedev said on court after the match. “I’m playing better with every match and I hope this can continue. I’m pleased with the fact that I’ve won all of these sets and didn’t have to stay long on the court. That’s always good when you’re playing a Grand Slam.”
Next up will be Andrey Rublev, his compatriot and while it is nice in Medvedev's opinion to have both players in the latter stages - it all changes when they get on court.
”He’s playing amazing this year and it’s really cool that we managed to be in the quarter-finals together. Of course, it would be better if we were playing a final,” Medvedev said. “On the court, there are no friends and he knows that also. We’re going to have a good match.”
