Daniil Medvedev has warned a player is \u2018going to die\u2019 after he overcame hostile conditions to beat fellow Russian Andrey Rublev to advance to the semi-final of the US Open.<\/p>\n
The champions of two years ago was forced to call for the doctor twice during a straight sets 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory during which temperatures on court reached 37C.<\/p>\n
With humidity levels rising to 43%, Medvedev claimed there were occasions when he struggled to be able to see the ball and believes organisers of the tournament are taking dangerous risks with the health of participants. <\/p>\n
At the peak of his struggles during the match, Medvedev turned\u00a0towards a television camera during the match and said: \u2018One player is going to die and they\u2019re going to see.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018It was brutal,\u2019 Medvedev said afterwards in his post match press conference. \u2018The only good thing I see in these conditions is that both suffered. It\u2019s tough for both of us. <\/p>\n
\u2018There were some ups and downs. At the end of the first set I couldn\u2019t see the ball anymore. I played with sensations, tried to run, tried to go for it, tried to hit the ball. We were tired all the time. It was super tough to win.<\/p>\n
\u2018I have no skin left on my nose. Here it\u2019s red but it\u2019s not because of the sun, it\u2019s not like you\u2019re burned. <\/p>\n
