After making 12 overwhelming passes in about two hours, Daniel Medvedev dominated in front of Canadian Felix Ogier-Jassim, winning 6-4, 7-5, 6-2 and qualifying for the final of the American Open tennis tournament.
Knowing that they will later face off in a prospective encounter, the 2019 summer finalists will meet with first-ranked Serbian Novak Jokovic, the seeker for the record-breaking 21st grand slam, or German Olympic champion Alexander Zverev IV.
Medvedev started solid from the start, making 7 crushing innings and being unbeaten in the first set, making only 5 easy errors, while breaking Ojeh-Yasim's run-scoring streak in the seventh inning.
He suffered a broken transmission in the next set to appear to be in trouble, but refused to give up as Ogier-Jasim failed to exploit the group's points in the ninth, and Medvedev broke the transmission.
The Canadian player made a double mistake in the 11th inning of 10 errors of the match, helping Medvedev break the transmission again, and the Russian player took advantage of a spree in the third set where he gave up one sending point.
