Medvedev Opelka S-Hertogenbosch

Opelka faced Medvedev on the center court of the 's-Hertogenbosch tournament.

Entering as a lucky loser from qualifying, Opelka has since put together a gutsy run in this ATP 250 event in 's-Hertogenbosch. After tight victories—including five tiebreaks since his first match in the Netherlands—the American continued his impressive streak by taking down the top-seeded Medvedev, this time not with one but two tiebreaks (7-6, 7-6, both won 7-5).

Ranked outside the top 150 at the start of the year, the player has been steadily climbing back up the rankings and now sits at No. 80 as of this match.

For a spot in the final, he will face the winner of the Bergs vs. Lajal match.
