“I haven’t won many five-set matches, even two here. I’m very happy to be in the semifinals. After the first set I didn’t want five sets, when I lost the third I definitely wanted five sets. There were moments when I completely lost my game. He turned it up, I fell off. In the third set I managed to slowly build myself up again. In the fourth I was in good form again,” explained Medvedev.
