His comfortable win over Andrey Rublev means Carlos Alcaraz has some control about his own future at the tournament. The win over Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open should actually provide plenty of ammunition for the World Number 2 as he looks to reach the Semi Final for the first time at this event. Ultimately he will know his potential Semi Final opponent with the other Group being completed on Thursday evening, but Daniil Medvedev has always indicated that he is a player that only concentrates on what is best for him. Even a straight sets defeat is not going to impact his place in the next Round, although there is the question mark about whether he wins the Group that is yet to be settled. It is not easy for a tennis player to come out and deliberately play poorly, but you would question how much Daniil Medvedev is going to want to run in this tough Group match. The chance to beat Carlos Alcaraz and potentially knock him out of the tournament will offer some motivation, but Daniil Medvedev will not want to have to exert too much energy to do that knowing he has a Semi Final spot wrapped up.

Two wins and both in straight sets has moved Daniil Medvedev through to the ATP World Tour Finals Semi Final on Saturday and so you have to wonder how much motivation he brings onto the court.
