Daniil Medvedev lost to Alex De Minaur at ATP in Toronto

With a good mood after winning five finals this year, the player from Russia stopped before the semi-finals.

The first set had a completely unexpected development with twists. Despite the fact that Medvedev led in the score 5-2, he did not manage the advantage and tied the score.

He again led 4-0 in the tiebreak, but eventually lost 9-7.

The second set wasn’t much different either, with the former world number one again leading 4-2, but De Minaur made a superb comeback to wrap up the match before another tie-break.

Alex De Minaur will meet the Spaniard Alejandro Davidovych Fokin (37 ATP) in the semifinals.

The National Bank Open is an ATP 1000 tournament that will be held from August 7 to 13. Its total prize pool is $6,600,000 and the current champion is Pablo Carreno Busta.
