Gilles Simon prevailed 6-7 6-4 6-3 against Daniil Medvedev to reach the final of the Queen’s Club championships.
The 34-year-old prevailed 6-7 6-4 6-3 on a sunlit centre court where interminable rallies regularly surpassed 30 shots. After spending three hours 20 minutes to get past compatriot Nicolas Mahut on Friday – the longest match at Queen’s since 1991 – it was surprising to see Simon outlast a player 11 years his junior.
With both players adopting almost identical tactics, it felt more like a chess match than a grasscourt tennis duel at times but it was Simon who began to make the better moves as he worked his way back to level the match.
