NEW YORK _ Daniil Medvedev is hurting. Sore adductors, painful right shoulder, heavily taped thigh. He said he considered withdrawing mid-match in Tuesday's U.S. Open quarterfinal against the tournament's 2016 champ, Stan Wawrinka.
Medvedev won rather convincingly, 7-6 (6), 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.
He has been fined $19,000 so far in the tournament _ for snatching a towel from a ball person, for holding a middle finger to his temple in defiance of crowd booing, for verbal and equipment abuse.
