Daniil Medvedev admitted to Taylor Fritz at the net that he was fortuitous to win the first set after beating the American in straight sets in the Cincinnati Open quarterfinals on Friday. In a competitive first set, the top seed needed to save three set points, one at 4-5 and two at 5-6 on serve, before taking the opener in a tiebreak. Medvedev dominated proceedings in the second set, dropping just three games to improve his win-loss record to 9-3 in Masters 1000 quarterfinals.

I feel like me and Taylor served good - Daniil Medvedev Western & Southern Open - Day 7 Daniil Medvedev and Taylor Fritz served well in their 98-minute contest in Cincinnati on Friday.

Following the match, Medvedev said that the duo played their part in a tight contest, especially in the first set, before Fritz ran out of steam in the second. “I feel like me and Taylor served good, even if we aren’t John (Isner) maybe," said Medvedev. "I knew that it was going to be a tight match. The first set, he was on top of me a little bit. He had many more chances than I did on my serve, but I managed to stay in."
