I couldn’t figure out the right time to attack the ball and I was not being patient with my attacking game. I couldn’t let that go either. The first set point was important. But he played very well and I know that he was cramping. So, congratulations to him,” Wawrinka added.

The Swiss, World Number 24 gave it all that he had, but he regrets about squandering the first set point. Upon losing the set point, he also lost his momentum in the battle. “I fought with what I had. I should have never lost that first set point. When I missed that, I missed everything everywhere,” he said.

Stan Wawrinka played a tough battle against the Russian wave of tennis, Medvedev. With this loss, the Swiss player is yet open his victory account against the Russian.

Medvedev continues to flourish on the ATP Tour this year. He reaches his first career Grand Slam semifinals in New York.

In the semifinals of the Big Apple city, he will either face Roger Federer or Grigor Dimitrov.
