Daniil Medvedev reaches quarterfinals while Iga Swiatek sinks in Cincinnati
Cincinnati Masters quarterfinals on Thursday while women's world number one Iga Swiatek was upset by American Madison Keys. Top seed Medvedvev kept Denis Shapovalov winless against world number ones with a 7-5, 7-5 victory while Poland's Swiatek lost 6-3, 6-4 to 2019 Cincinnati champion Keys, who needed five match points to finish off the shock triumph. Shapovalov, who lost in an hour and three-quarters, has dropped all eight career matches he has played against the elite echelon. Medvedev moved into a quarter-final against 11th seed Taylor Fritz after the American stopped number six seed Andrey Rublev 6-7 (4/7), 6-2, 7-5. "It was a fight today, definitely not easy," said Medvedev, who clinched the top US Open seeding when Rafael Nadal lost here in the second round.
