"And what is funny is I love these long rallies, but I love them when the conditions are fast, because then other players can't handle these long rallies," he said. "When the conditions are slow, literally everyone can handle these long rallies because, well, it's like you have no other choice. Medvedev could encounter similar issues with the balls at the U.S. Open but the Russian will not use them as an excuse and is ready to make adjustments to his game if needed. I'm sure that when he started 17 years ago winning Grand Slams, everything was different. He was still winning," said Medvedev.

Mandatory Credit: Carter Skaggs-USA TODAY Sports Acquire Licensing RightsAug 18 (Reuters) - Iga Swiatek overcame a tricky opening set before racing to a 7-6(3) 6-1 victory over Czech 10th seed Marketa Vondrousova on Friday in a clash between the last two Grand Slam winners to reach the Cincinnati Open semi-finals. "It wasn't easy to adjust to her spin because she's a lefty," French Open champion Swiatek said during her on-court interview. But she was denied both times by Swiatek before the Pole ran away with the tiebreaker. "I tried to learn from that first set, and in the second set I knew exactly what to do and I think that's why it was such a good performance," Swiatek said. Muchova now awaits the winner of the quarter-final clash between Tunisian fifth seed Ons Jabeur and Belarusian second seed Aryna Sabalenka.
