Sinner resumes Medvedev battle at Wimbledon after medical assessment
Jannik Sinner has returned to Centre Court to resume his Wimbledon quarter-final against Daniil Medvedev after leaving the court for a medical assessment.
Sinner was visited by the physio at the changeover trailing 1-2 in the third set. Looking unwell, he had his pulse taken and then walked off the court for further assessment.
The Italian took the first set 7-6(7) before Medvedev levelled the match by taking the second 4-6.
After Sinner received a medical timeout, he returned to court but was unable to regain the lead against Medvedev, who won the third set 7-6(4) to move to within a set of his second Wimbledon semi-final.
[ATP APP]Sinner has won his past five meetings against Medvedev, including at this year’s Australian Open where he rallied from two sets down in the final to clinch his first major title. The top seed, who holds a 42-3 record on the year, is aiming to become the first Italian man to reach multiple Wimbledon semi-finals. The No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings lost in the last four to Novak Djokovic last year.
Medvedev is aiming to win his first major title since the US Open in 2021. The 28-year-old has dropped three sets en route to the semi-finals and moved past Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round on Sunday when the Bulgarian was forced to retire in the first set. Medvedev leads Sinner 6-5 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series.
