Jannik Sinner vs. Daniil Medvedev Condensed Match | 2024 US Open Quarterfinal

and M and McDonald when he's hitting a couple doubles a game he's not going to be able to get away with against [Music] Center that's I don't think he needs to be doing that that's not what he'd want to do in this match there he goes again he's not going to win that against play the big points well and and Robbie that's the one match that's a complete outlier in their history and the hold there that match in Miami semi-final with 6162 [Applause] 5 and it first service goes been the courts side for a couple of his mat just so far in front of him [Music] yeah Robie I think the problem one of the problems for Mev is fourth round match I feel like I've been playing better as the open goes along serving better that's that is true and Cent 15 l any of those but standing Toe to Toe the with Center he never really did back up so the drop shot wasn't going to be very effective medev a accustomed to sprinting 100 yards for drop [Applause] many it hits his racket it goes in 70 but that doesn't mean he can't get get that up even during this match played a couple of points in the last game [Applause] get the uh the crowd going 5 66 Spiderman like and he can move he moves he's a sprinter on top of everything else I don't know how he produces these Strokes take a look at this finish on the almost looks like he's going to asiate himself it [Music] even though centers had a couple of very slow second serves one step in Great Stop one guy the B here there were first a half FY then that FY and this ball almost went off you take a lot of convincing I'm sure do get out of it's going to be that second serve is the because this was the next ball after the serve and now you're in TR trouble if you're medev not as good a lob as you would think he normally comes up with coming to the CH well there was a nice save the scary thing for the rest of the field is he's always looking to improve move CH yeah there you go the warmer two looks Dev would be the one who comes out on top in the end so making this really physical would be there you go he does have the ability Robbie perhaps when it's closer and he's feeling a little tighter try and plant the SE out set [Music] go physic kick into gear sooner rather than later would have been fascinating had he done so it's not as consistent this week this H night so far the aisle works yeah [Applause] to so many of the great players he get to hang out with the likes of Maria Shero jovic that he was a player that would sometimes get a little tight in the biggest moments you look at some of his results there was your gear shift on that last forehand percent he didn't come through not necessarily maybe because he got tighter maybe his opponent just played [Applause] great second servant medev up [Applause] [Music] and it lets the ash Stadium crowd know there may be a good match ahead I think men's finding his range he's going bigger he's putting the ball in even though he's going bigger that approach he wasn't sure when he hit it as you see looks right at the Umpire to make sure that was took him a second to believe it yes so no re okay no not not now get the [Applause] [Music] break in the doll moment there the break back second serve [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Center put on his hand immediately gentlemen to say as if to say was up [Music] that was definitely it yeah you're right Robbie he just needed to get just on one bounce we have to get this up higher because his opponent 66 some good m [Applause] some of those second serves if Med's up there and that will help too he LIF his first percentage you can force him not to be able to return from back there that's the play today just going to say exactly hits the return watch and he he'll start coming in pretty quickly even if he doesn't he covers that ground so easily I mean the dexterity on the speck is incredible he holds it into the last that is that is the mostly inside all of Center shots are going inside the singles lines he's still hitting them hard but they're not really pressuring the corner eventually medvedev's out maneuvering Center are coaxing in error out of them [Applause] yes yes Jimmy you could easily be a a coach at an academy or something like that [Applause] Advantage yeah it looks like why not rip that Cross Court but also here he makes no attempt to chase this one down I don't know if that's hip related or not I'm keeping a B on would have been have his done in the second set this has been some game another in mid for Coach arus he's got to take on more risk [Applause] [Music] [Applause] tennis history to get through medvid I think he feeling all very very good what all they did well he's eight for eight now in the set 10 for 11 in the match so that yeah that qualifies even with that's AET point he didn't running up I guess it's at that point there he is kig G mid and that was another long game that playing those scenarios through in my head and bour and raised into town four kilometers from the Austrian border and he ski I don't think Fabio that part R is really hard to believe because I know he didn't really play in the junior to kill yourself at the beginning no question mid score line I don't think too many would [Applause] number one man is in a fight which is not surprising mate stop good stop there's Darren kill saying ser and volley mate so he's thinking the same thing we are [Applause] [Applause] game V pleas new it I don't know if Center knows Miss ching know why players don't see this and [Music] say let's set up a pattern to get that shot [Applause] yeah moving him [Applause] has served three games C leads five games to Lo set got up two big claps and it gave him the points the finger point like you're the man he loves it and on Robbie on the other side I you know glaring zeros in the set zero games and zero winners I 154 and a little Bird's just whispered in my ear that the last man to that had to get some people's attention couple set points saved yes [Applause] and made minut it C it's five games to one that was for you Jimmy 305 C and that's what Center does that took just ability for Med 15 he's got a little more faith in the slice so the double faults have come down since he started that but I think C Center start to wait on the forehead return He [Music] 14 1 felt as though he was starting to get overwhelmed losing that third set so quickly couldn't afford to get down a break to start set saying remember this game yes hell great start head today have unhappy what is he complaining about this was remarkable stuff I mean great get andred stab from Center any idea Robbie if he's complaining about the bags or the bench oh was too close he wanted more room to hit the shot around the ball long much Clear J C or did we have a one all to start can't remember now [Applause] [Applause] going into the forehand with a slice and Center is slowly starting to just lean on it medev still made him play four or five more [Music] shots and [Music] [Applause] M holds for gosh another nice one with the first three sets means this won't be [Applause] the center at the some good fortune in this point from Center top of the tape I think that for might have been going wide the tape helped keep it in but a nice feel on that running forward little flick of a l Center makes this shot look routine he does but the other thing that amazes me is how many great shots you have to hit to win a point I mean that was an amazing defensive lck from meddev from the position he was in couldn't have hit it any F they're not giving us per set they just give this match and this set that were he started serving ball set three two gam so saf no and they all seem to be in Center favor in the end a little flick backham pass that time and then this for in on the Run nice let me ask you Jimmy an hour ago you said that Center was in this match Jimmy what a swing point that coming up Jesse poua number one Center in a fight here against a US Open champ 5 who twice in the past has taken number one out silky I'm a Believer in getting most of your power 15 1 the bigger muscles rotating meev is all arm but yeah that's a good call but he's got such good hands and here's an example of [Applause] it old on a huge Point middling has the plus one put away come [Applause] on was me him again sin go that must have been 99% out this one right right here love 14 of course that is 100% in was that the first point where centers hit some slice back hands yeah I can think of Jimmy four or five all of a sudden out of nowhere C hit some slice back hands yeah I can think of Jimmy four or five all of a sudden out of nowhere won 40% [Applause] [Applause] te that serve missed by a distance that could put a little d out in your mind for second serve go did not ready again is very combination 5 right here look where it put position it put Center in it especially because he tried to run around his [Applause] backand yes if there's ever a t-shirt i' make about the US Open would be give us five game mid [Music] [Applause] oh [Applause] again C CA who set to one 62 16 61 64 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] oh was an interesting match wasn't it you didn't expect the scores that we saw with Center taking the first set comfortably
