Tennis fans were expecting big battles as the 2024 US Open advanced into the important rounds, but in the end, only reaching the quarterfinals, 7 of the top 10 seeds were eliminated.
Americans are happy that there will definitely be a male player in the final when Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe meet in the semi-finals, but whoever it is, the final will not be a "big battle".
The only “big match” – for sure – will come in the quarterfinals, when Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev meet. The No. 1 seed and No. 5 seed will meet for the fourth time this year, and the third time at a Grand Slam.
In the previous three times, Sinner won two - in the Australian Open final and Miami Open semi-finals, while Medvedev won in the Wimbledon quarter-finals.
Interestingly, on the way to the quarterfinals, Sinner met 3 American players. If he reaches the final, he will be the fourth opponent of the host country.
If he overcomes Medvedev to reach the semi-finals, Sinner could meet Australian player Alex de Minaur.
The similarity between Sinner and Medvedev is that after the first round needed 4 sets, they both caught up and solved the next matches after only 3 sets.
The head-to-head statistics are in Medvedev's favor (7-5), but before the Russian won at Wimbledon, his Italian opponent had won five consecutive matches against him.
Therefore, this match promises to be interesting to watch.
