GAME, SET AND MATCH! MEDVEDEV 6-3 6-3 SCHWARTZMAN. Medvedev signs off Group Tokyo 1970 with a perfect record, serving it out to love. He warms up for his semi final with Nadal in real style thanks to a straight sets win over the Argentine, who leaves his debut finals on the back of three losses. Medvedev got the job done in one hour and 13 minutes. He’s certainly the form man heading into the last four, just the 31 winners there.

MEDVEDEV 6-3 4-2 SCHWARTZMAN. With the break under his belt, Medvedev goes for big returns once again. He doesn’t do enough with them but it does lead to a quick-fire game. Schwartzman stays in touch, but it’s looking unlikely he’ll rescue anything from this.
MEDVEDEV 6-3 4-1 SCHWARTZMAN. It’s a very scrappy game from the world number four and Schwartzman almost bites back. The Argentine is gifted his first break point courtesy of a double fault but sees it snatched away by a huge service winner. Some nice hands at the net earn him another opportunity, but he slaps a tame return into the net from a weak second serve. Medvedev eventually gets the rhythm flowing again and consolidates from deuce.

BREAK! – MEDVEDEV 6-3 3-1 SCHWARTZMAN. Talk about redlining it. Medvedev literally hits the corners on his way to triple break point. He’s in charge at the net but duffs a volley, allowing Schwartzman to lob him. The Russian attempts a tweener and makes a mess it. He recovers from the shocker to break at the third opportunity with the type of winner he’s more accustomed to hitting.
MEDVEDEV 6-3 2-1 SCHWARTZMAN. He may be hanging tough on his own service games, but he’s not really doing enough with the return. Easier said than done of course. Medvedev earns plenty of cheap points with that first serve and claims another routine hold to 15.
