In Shanghai, Daniil Medvedev emerged victorious from his duel against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (6-3, 7-6). But imagine for a moment if that tie-break had betrayed him. In what physical condition would he have finished the match?
From the beginning, Medvedev and Davidovich Fokina engaged in a tight duel. The Russian initially gained the advantage with a first-serve quality rarely seen in recent months (94% of points won).
The second set was decided by a tie-break. In this phase, every point is of crucial importance. Medvedev came through 7-5, but what if he had lost it?
He could have ended up physically exhausted, battling himself as much as his opponent, as evidenced by these images taken after the match. A video can be found below.
