PAUSE! – MEDVEDEV 4-1 DE MINAUR

De Minaur grimaces as he twice fails to put the point away on the net, allowing Daniil to release a pass that the Australian can only throw into the net via a backhand volley.

A wide ace gives Demon the lead at 40-30, but a lovely stun volley helps Med make another deuce.

De Minaur reaches high right to claw away a super volley after an entertaining cat-and-mouse exchange, but he is still thoroughly tested around deuce until Medvedev emerges as trump in a pulsating rally with a forehand past the line to conjure up another. BP.

It’s a match that de Minaur will feel like he should have won a few times, but ultimately he makes a double fault at the worst possible moment and hands the No. 4 the insurance.
