“Andrey was definitely one of the favourites to go far in this tournament,” said Medvedev after his victory against Rublev.

“To win this match in three sets, especially [with] how physical it was, was [an] amazing level from me.

I’m really happy about it. We had some unbelievable rallies. I think the match was high quality. It’s the first time to be honest [that] I saw Andrey tired.”
