After the start of the match was delayed due to adverse weather conditions, the Russian controlled the first set, and the Dane managed to fight back and equalize each time, but in the end Medvedev broke free.
Rune was leading 2-0 and 5-3 in the second set with a great chance to take the match to a deciding set, but again Daniil Medvedev’s experience spoke for itself as he managed to finish much quicker.
The game lasted one hour and 43 minutes.
