Yeah Stan looks a bit flat. That Medvedev volley in last game, unreal reflexes.

What Medvedev went through this tournament a match like this felt like a routine job. Well done to him, so glad to see a next gen guy in SF again.

Med says it was quad pain and in 1st set he didn’t know if he could continue, and pain killers worked

Well. After that performance, it's hard to say he can't beat Fed. Fed obviously has the goods to deal with him. But he'll need to be at his best. Seriously great play from Medvedev today. Played smart. Executed well. Showed off the full array of shots.

He is breaking down, but still reached semis, that's crazy. Respect to this young man.

Problem for Med is that Roger is a stone cold killa. He'll find a way to make him feel that quad. It's going to be unpleasant for him. If he felt the crowd has been against him before... he ain't seen nothing yet. I'll wager though he's brought a lot of the fans around, but as we all know that really doesn't matter when it's Roger

Did Dimitrov withdraw?

Yup. Real fighter. Picked him as future world number 1 ages ago. Hopefully he'll heal up well after the USO. Might be a tough cookie at the WTF and Shanghai.

I certainly think he can push Fed to the brink if he plays his game. I don't think it will be easy, but definitely possible.
