Daniil Medvedev moved closer to a potential US Open quarter-final clash with world number one Jannik Sinner on Monday, as both the players aimed to capitalize on the significant void created by the surprising departures of tennis icons Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
Medvedev, who triumphed at the US Open in 2021, dominated Nuno Borges, who was striving to become the first Portuguese man to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final, with a scoreline of 6-0, 6-1, 6-3.
