LONDON :Equalling his best ever showing at Wimbledon simply is not good enough for Daniil Medvedev, especially since the Russian arrived at the All England Club with lofty ambitions.
"I have big motivation to change it so I hope I can show my best tennis and enjoy," added the 2021 U.S. Open champion who also made it into the last 16 in his last appearance here two years ago. But Medvedev trampled on those dreams in the fourth game of the second set, when he broke Fucsovics to love after the Hungarian double-faulted to surrender his serve.
Once Medvedev had taken a two-sets-to-one lead by banging down an unreturnable serve, Fucsovics needed an injury time-out to get his right ankle manipulated and strapped up by the trainer.
