Struff Upsets Medvedev To Reach Wimbledon Fourth Round

Struff’s string of winning tiebreaks and a reviewed net‑hole point expose questions about Medvedev’s form.

Overview

  • Jan-Lennard Struff beat Daniil Medvedev in straight sets, 7-6(4), 7-6(5), 7-5, to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon after a match played on Friday.
  • Struff recovered from being a break down in each set, rallying from multiple deficits to win pivotal tiebreaks and close out the match in two hours and 49 minutes.
  • A contested point in the third set saw Medvedev’s shot pass through a hole in the net, the chair umpire replayed the point on court and awarded it to Struff after on-court discussion.
  • Medvedev said he was disappointed, admitting he failed to find solutions during the match and that his serve and tiebreak play were below his standards, continuing a trend of earlier-than-expected Grand Slam exits.
  • Struff, who earlier survived a five-set marathon against Brandon Nakashima by winning three tiebreaks, now faces Hubert Hurkacz in an all-unseeded fourth-round match that reshapes the middle section of the draw.
