Eubanks produced 74 winners, 22 more than Medvedev. But he made 55 unforced errors and that turned out to be the deciding factor in the context of the game.

“After [the] first set, for sure, I didn’t want to go five. When I lost the third, I wanted to go five because I had no other choice,” Medvedev was quoted as saying after the match.

“But yeah, there was a moment in the match where I completely lost the game itself and he played well. I started to sink; I started to do a lot of mistakes, not serving well enough,” Medvedev added.

Medvedev will next be facing World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz, who will be making his Wimbledon semis debut. Alcaraz defeated young sensation Holger Rune 7-6 (7-3), 6-4, 6-4 in two hours and 21 minutes.
