Stormy match awaits in the quarterfinals: "It's going to be tough"

Jannik Sinner is now doing everything to get in top physical shape for the quarterfinals in the US Open. Because there, former champion Daniil Medvedev is waiting. It's going to be another tough and long match against Daniil, so I have to be physically ready, says Sinner.

The Italian world number one in tennis defeated Tommy Paul, USA, in the fourth round. He won, albeit with 3–0, but it required a tiebreak in the first two sets for Sinner to take the match. He won the third set with 6–1.

In the quarterfinals, a stormy meeting awaits with the former winner at Flushing Meadows, Russian Daniil Medvedev. He won the Grand Slam tournament in 2021 and was in the final last year. He outclassed Portuguese Nuño Borges in the fourth round, only losing four games.

Sinner and Medvedev have met four times this year, including in the Australian Open final when Sinner turned 0–2 into a 3–2 victory. Medvedev took revenge at Wimbledon when he won a five-set match in the quarterfinals.

I'll think more about Wimbledon than Australian Open, says Medvedev ahead of Thursday's meeting with Sinner.

The women's world number one, Iga Swiatek, is also through to the quarterfinals. The Pole defeated Russian Ljudmila Samsonova in two straight sets, 6–4, 6–1. In the quarterfinals on Thursday, American Jessica Pegula awaits.
