CINCINNATI, Aug 20 ― Top seed Daniil Medvedev reached the ATP and WTA Cincinnati Masters quarter-finals yesterday with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over fellow former champion Grigor Dimitrov.
“What makes it tough, it's two weeks in a row against the best players in the world,” Medvedev said. “I'm still young, healthy and feeling 100%, so that is why I want to try and do it.” The moody Frenchman, struggling for motivation at the fan-free events which have characterized much of the Covid-19 tennis era, came alive with the Cincinnati stands at full capacity and masks a rare sight.
Isner began the third set with three double-faults in a row to lose serve and from then on was barely able to lift his racquet against Paire, who has never been this far at Cincinnati. Third-seeded Olympic gold medalist Alexander Zverev got past Argentine Guido Pella with a comfortable 6-2, 6-3 result in 73 minutes while never facing a break point.In the women's draw, top-ranked Ashleigh Barty powered into the quarter-finals 6-0, 6-2 over Victoria Azarenka.
