Meanwhile, Medvedev has reflected upon his win over Arthur Fils. The 29-year-old star player revealed that he has suffered defeat mostly in the tough games, but his resilience this time has helped him mark the win. The star player was ecstatic after crossing the finish line.

"I lost a lot of tight matches this year where I could have won, should have won maybe. I have lost a lot of tight matches where it goes a little bit 50-50 and the more it goes like that, the more you can lose confidence in the tight moments. I was happy I was able to get over the line," Medvedev said after the win.
