Daniil Medvedev used his tactical arsenal well to dispatch the American with the whopping serve and advance to the French Open fourth round.
The world No. 2 continued his run of positive results at the French Open by overcoming Reilly Opelka in straight sets 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 in barely an hour and 40 minutes on-court.
Prior to this year’s event, the Russian had no wins at the clay Slam in his career, but has now won three on the bounce.
It’s a big turn of fortune for Medvedev on clay, winning three matches consecutively on the surface for the first time since making the semi-finals of Barcelona back in April 2019.
It is a feat he has achieved just twice on tour since turning pro in 2014.
