It was a vastly different match from his late-night escape from two sets down against Finland’s Emil Ruusuvuori in the second round, a contest that finished at 3:40am on Friday.
Medvedev admitted the early-hours finish had taken its toll, saying he had not got to bed until 7:00 am. “It was not easy, I’m not feeling fresh, I’m not feeling 100 percent,” said the Russian. “It was tough, especially after the last match I had.”
Medvedev came into the clash with a flawless 6-0 record against the 27th seed.
