LONDON: Daniil Medvedev wasn't whining, wasn't questioning calls, he wasn't taking on spectators or sparring with the chair umpire just because he had the time. By no means was he playing his tidiest tennis, but he was sticky, as solid as a slab of concrete and completely centered. He was the immovable object. And whoever thought the maverick Russian was capable of that.
In a rematch of this year's Australian Open final -- where Jannik Sinner recovered from two-sets-to-love down to win in five sets - the lanky Medvedev, built more like a high jumper than a tennis player, came through to make his second successive Wimbledon semifinals with a 6-7 (7), 6-4, 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-3 win.
