Djokovic, who continued his march towards a third title in as many tournaments this season with a 6-3, 7-5 victory over Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in the Dubai quarter-finals on Thursday, is waiting to hear if the US government will allow him to enter the country without being vaccinated.
The world number one, seeking a sixth career title in the northern emirate, improved to 5-0 against Hurkacz, 15-0 for the season, and has extended his overall winning streak to 20 consecutive matches, dating back to last November's ATP Finals. "Fortunately for me I also found the rhythm on my serve throughout the second set. I'm really glad with how I played under pressure."Medvedev has won back-to-back titles in Rotterdam and Doha, and is trying for a third in Dubai. He is on a 12-match winning streak and has not dropped a set this week.
The German seventh seed defeated fellow big-server, Italian Lorenzo Sonego, 7-5, 6-4 in one hour and 52 minutes, saving all six break points he faced. "Obviously I didn't. Not only did I not win, I basically broke everything that I can in my ankle. So it was a tough period.
