Daniil Medvedev continues to show the right level of seeds 1 when defeating the 30 ATP player, John Isner after 2 sets quickly with the same score of 62 in the semi -finals of the Rogers Cup 2021.
Earlier, when confronting the seed No. 7 Hubert Hurkacz in the quarterfinals, Medvedev had to be very hard to win after 3 intense sets, including 2 sets to be resolved by tie-break. It was also the most difficult match for the Russian player since the beginning of the tournament.
The next opponent of Medvedev will be the 29 ATP ranked player, Reilly Opelka. Opelka is only equivalent to Isner, the opponent has just been defeated by Medvedev and of course is also lower than the Russian tennis player.
However, in the semi -finals, Opelka surpassed the No. 2 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas after 3 extremely dramatic sets. That is the basis for Opelka to feel confident when given to his eyes is a big challenge not inferior to Tsitsipas, if not more.
Medvedev and Opelka met 4 times before. In which Medvedev won 3 matches and Opelka also once defeated the world's No. 2 player at ATP St. Petersburg 2020, also on the hard yard.
