French Open 2024: Daniil Medvedev beats Tomas Machac and enters into fourth round

Tennis star Daniil Medvedev defeated Tomas Machac in the third round of the French Open 2024 on June 1 and advanced to the fourth round of the Roland Garros. The star player defeated Machac by 7-6, 7-5, 1-6, and 6-4 to make it to round 16 of the ongoing marquee event. Notably, the fifth seed won in four close sets, but the final score didn't explain the improbable intensity that marked the third-round encounter.

Daniil Medvedev has only made eight career appearances at the French Open, and his performances have never fallen between terrible and impressive. The star player had a well-earned 7-6 (4), 7-5, 1-6, 6-4 win over Tomas Machac and moved to the French Open's fourth round for the first time since 2021, further cementing his place as a strong contender to win the title.

The contest had taken place under cover on an unpleasant and rainy day at Suzanna-Lenglen. Meanwhile, Machac showed the fans that he was more than just a pretty face by grabbing a surprise break point when Medvedev's serve started to collapse in the final sets of the game.

Speaking about the game here, it was remarkable to watch Machac play the ball with his opposite hand at the breaking point; however, after that, Medvedev started to score points from the back of the court, making things worse for the Czech player.

Meanwhile, Medvedev won the close opening set in a tiebreak before leaving the court for a long costume change that bizarrely didn't seem to throw off either player's flow.
