The Russian beat a combative Marton Fucsovics in four sleeves

The Russian Daniil Medvedev and the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas are already in the round of 16 of the Wimbledon tennis tournament after defeating this Saturday the Hungarian Marton Fucsovics and the Serbian Laslo Djererespectively.

Medvedev, who could not play the tournament last year due to the ban on Russians and Belarusians, continues to grow strong in London and he beat a Fucsovics who made it very difficult for him and to which he had to overcome a set against (4-6, 6-3, 6-4 and 6-4).

The Muscovite, with the first set lost, barely lost ground against a Fucsovics who played the quarterfinals at Wimbledon a couple of years ago, and is always dangerous on grass.

the russian will play in the round of 16 this Monday against the Czech Jiri Leheckawho submitted in five sets to the American Tommy Paul.

For his part, Tsitsipas played for the fifth consecutive day and defeated Djere 6-4, 7-6 (5) and 6-4 in a closer match than the score says. And it is that the Hellene was close to getting complicated by going with a ‘break’ disadvantage in a second set that he took in the tiebreaker, in which he came back from 1-3.

The Greek will look for a place in the quarterfinals against one of the sensations of the grass tour, the American Christopher Eubanks, who with 23 direct aces and 65 winners beat Australian Christopher O’Connell in three tie breaks.
