the russian Daniel Medvedev face the Serbian Novak Djokovicnumber one in the world rankings, in the semifinals of the ATP 500 tournament in Dubai, after defeating the Croatian 6-3, 6-2 this Thursday Borna Coric in the quarterfinals.
Medvedev, who came to the meeting after winning the last two weeks in the contests of Rotterdam and Dohaonce again showed the great form he has been in with a convincing victory.
Especially in the first set where the Russian tennis player, number seven in the world ranking, won clearly 6-3 after the Croatian’s serve was broken in the first and last games.
A result that seemed to motivate Coric, number 20 in the ATP “ranking”, who started the second set ready to show the reason for his positive record with Medvedev, whom he has beaten four of the six times they have met.
In fact, Coric started the second set with a “break” that dreamed of the Croatian, winner of the Cincinnati Masters 1000 last year, with the possibility of forcing the third set.
A dream that Medvedev led to become a chimera after returning a service break in the fourth game (2-2) and later added two more “breaks” to win 6-2.
A result that will allow Medvedev to play the pass to the grand final with Novak Djokovic, which the Russian has won only on one of the five occasions on which they have met, in the final of the 2021 United States Open, the only “big” that appears in list of Muscovite winners.
