From the 2019 tournament, in which he was runner-up, to this year's tournament, Medvedev continued his particularly strong performance in this tournament, reaching the semifinals or better four times in five years at the US Open.
The game on this day was played in sweltering heat reaching 35 degrees.
Medvedev overcame difficulties, including having to take medical timeouts twice due to breathing difficulties due to the scorching sun and high humidity, and won the match.
Medvedev will compete with the winner of the match between Carlos Alcaras (1st place, Spain) and Alexander Zverev (12th place, Germany) to advance to the finals.
If they win here, they will meet the winner of the semifinals between Novak Djokovic (2nd, Serbia) and Ben Shelton (47th, USA) in the final.
Rublev failed to break the ‘quarterfinal jinx' in singles at a major tournament this time.
Rublev, who turned professional in 2014, has competed consistently in major tournaments, starting with the US Open in 2015, but has never won in the quarterfinals.
He reached the quarterfinals nine times and lost them all.
In particular, he reached the quarterfinals four times at the US Open alone, but showed helplessness, not being able to win a single set in those four games.
In the women's singles, Arina Sabalenka (2nd place, Belarus), winner of this year's Australian Open and considered the strongest candidate to win this tournament, defeated Jeong Qin-wen (23rd place, China)'s sensation 2-0 (6-1 6-4) ) and advanced to the semifinals.
Sabalenka has reached the semifinals of five major tournaments in a row since the US Open last year.
If she only counts the US Open, she has reached the semifinals for three consecutive years starting in 2021.
However, Sabalenka has the unfortunate memory of always losing in her US Open Tennis semifinals and never reaching the final.
Sabalenka will attempt to advance to her first final against the winner of the Marketa von Drushova (9th, Czech Republic)-Madison Keyes (17th, USA) match.
