The 25-year-old Russian delivered a dynamic performance in a second-set tiebreaker to pull away from the Serb and increase his match record to 50-10 this season.
"It was a really tough match," Medvedev told AFP."The first set I got lucky in a few moments. The second set I started well, but he raised his level.
Medvedev has been ranked second in the world since early in the year and says his goal is to one day be No. 1, which is held by Novak Djokovic. Medvedev defeated him in the US Open final. Action resumed after a small army of volunteers helped dry the main stadium court at the Tennis Garden. In his US Open victory speech, Medvedev said he forgot to get his wife an anniversary gift. He said Monday that winning a first Grand Slam title was all she had asked for.
