๐ [5] Daniil Medvedev d. [14] Frances Tiafoe, 7-5, 7-6(4) — Second Setย
Seven match points were saved by Tiafoe, who was rushing the net with a reckless abandon. There were four breaks of serve, tons of crazy points, and the energy of the crowd in Stadium 1 was peaking.

๐ Elena Rybakina
Elena Rybakina is riding a busload of confidence into Sunday’s final with Aryna Sabalenka.
