Medvedev remains stable in the dry · tennisnet.com

Daniil Medvedev moved into the round of 16 of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Shanghai with a win against Matteo Arnaldi. All other parties had to be postponed due to bad weather.

Of course, you can’t expect a 1000 tournament that is basically held outdoors to have several covered courts available. The only place that immediately comes to mind is the Caja Magica in Madrid. But now that the Masters Series events have been dragging on for more than a week, delays in the gameplay are being accepted quite calmly.

Like these days in Shanghai.

The center court there is always dry, all other courts are exposed to wind and weather. And it was already rather humid yesterday Saturday, the forecasts for this Sunday also remained valid. Only Daniil Medvedev and Matteo Arnaldi were actually able to start on time. And the two of them played out their entry fee.

Medvedev maybe against Tsitsipas

In the end, Medvedev prevailed 5:7, 6:4 and 6:4 and, as so often, showed his stamina, especially in the third set. Arnaldi could easily have taken the lead with a break. But Medvedev, who won the title in Shanghai in 2019, remained stable and took the serve from his opponents to make it 5:4. And then served.

All other parties had to wait. This also applies to Stefanos Tsitsipas against Alexandre Muller. Daniil Medvedev’s next opponent will be determined in that one.
