Jannik Sinner left the court for a medical assessment when he was down a break in the third set

Play was halted during their quarterfinal match when Jannik Sinner, appearing unwell, had his pulse checked and left the court for a medical assessment. At the time, he was down a break in the third set after three games, having split the first two sets with Daniil Medvedev.

Sinner’s coach, Darren Cahill, showed visible concern. After returning from the medical timeout, Sinner managed to break back, but Medvedev ultimately took the third set tiebreak, securing a two-sets-to-one lead.

Refusing to give up, Sinner forced the match into a fifth set. However, an early break by Medvedev shifted the momentum back in favor of the Russian.

Meanwhile, reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz secured his 12th consecutive match win at the grass court Grand Slam, defeating Tommy Paul in four sets. Paul initially led by winning the first set 7-5 and going up a break in the second, but Alcaraz clawed his way back.

The 21-year-old Alcaraz grew stronger as the match progressed, showcasing the resilience that has defined his success. He ultimately triumphed with a 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory.

“I had to stay strong mentally at the beginning when I lost the first set,” Alcaraz said. “It was kinda difficult for me a little bit, but I know it is a really long journey. I am really happy to find the solutions and the good path.”

With this victory, Alcaraz advanced to the tournament’s semifinals, where he will face Medvedev on Friday. The two met in the same round at Wimbledon last year, with Alcaraz winning in straight sets.

Alcaraz, who won the French Open in June, now advances to his sixth semifinal in his last seven major tournaments.
