The return of Medvedev prolonged the outcome. He had to save two ‘match’ balls in the ‘tiebreak’, one with a serve from Zverev, who was useless to go up 2-5 with four points in a row.
Medvedev has prevailed in 26 of their last 27 meetings. the champion of Rotterdam, Doha, Dubai and Miamifinalist in Indian Wells, repeated the marathon and victory over Zverev, whom he led Indian Wells by 6-7, 7-6 and 7-5.
