In a highly anticipated Wimbledon quarterfinal, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner faced off against fifth seed Daniil Medvedev in a rematch of the Australian Open final. Despite Sinner's recent dominance over Medvedev, the Russian emerged victorious in a thrilling five-set battle that lasted over four hours.
The first set was a marathon, with neither player able to break serve. Medvedev eventually took the tiebreaker 7-5, but Sinner responded by breaking early in the second set. However, Medvedev remained composed and leveled the match.
In the third set, Medvedev broke again to take a 2-1 lead, but Sinner called for a medical timeout due to dizziness. Upon returning, Sinner struggled physically but managed to break back and force a tiebreaker. Medvedev saved two set points to win the tiebreaker and take a 2-1 lead.
Sinner stormed through the fourth set, but Medvedev regained control in the decider. He broke Sinner early and held on to secure a 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 2-6, 6-3 victory.
Medvedev's win sets up a semifinal clash with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who also overcame a set deficit to defeat Tommy Paul.
