Daniil Medvedev overcame roasting temperatures to battle into the US Open semifinals on Wednesday, Sept. 6, as Aryna Sabalenka delivered a sizzling display to reach the last four.
Daniil Medvedev of Russia reacts against Andrey Rublev of Russia during their Men's Singles Quarterfinal match on Day Ten of the 2023 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Wednesday, Sept. 6, in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City.
Tournament organizers confirmed that extreme heat measures were in effect for Medvedev and Rublev's quarterfinal -- but the Russian was clearly unimpressed. "At the end of the first set I kind of couldn't see the ball anymore. I kind of just played with sensations." Medvedev said he had planned to dash from the court to take a cold shower in the changing room if the match had gone to a fourth set, before he wrapped up victory in the third.
"I hate that different half shadow, half sun," Zheng said."Because I feel that's also bad, I mean, my eyes."
