Medvedev averts meltdown to beat ‘lucky' American and progress in Melbourne
Daniil Medvedev moved into the Australian Open quarterfinals with victory over Maxime Cressy
Daniil Medvedev claimed rival Maxime Cressy enjoyed more than his fair share of fortune as the Russian eventually overcame the spirited American in four sets to book his spot in the Australian Open quarterfinal.
In stifling conditions in Melbourne, an often bad-tempered Medvedev lamented his opponent's “luck” and was also heard describing the match as “boring” before seeing off Cressy 6-2 7-6 (7-4) 6-7(4-7) 7-5.
Although second seed Medvedev was the overwhelming favorite heading into the match, Paris-born Cressy was seen as posing potential tactical problems for the world number two with his serve-and-volley game.
Medvedev had no issues in a ruthlessly efficient first set, but the unseeded Cressy put up more resistance in the second, forcing the big Russian to save set point on his serve before Medvedev cruised through the tiebreak.
