A great victory was achieved by Ben Shelton against a Daniil Medvedev who failed to reach his best level in this Laver Cup 2024. The American won by 6-7 (6) 7-5 10-7, putting Team Europe in check, which now needs to win the next two matches to claim the title.

High tension, clash of styles, and a feeling that this match would determine the outcome of the Laver Cup 2024. With all these ingredients, Daniil Medvedev and Ben Shelton took to the court to face each other in a match that lived up to expectations and offered a great spectacle. The result was decided by small details, where the American found a way to impose his authority.

From the initial moments of the first set, it was evident that Shelton was deeply determined to redeem himself from his doubles defeat and was not affected by the accumulated physical strain. The American regained that deadly serving level that makes him a very hard-to-beat player and kept Medvedev's return attempts at bay. The scoreboard was level, with back-and-forth exchanges, leading to a tiebreak full of emotions.

A surreal and decisive moment occurred in the tiebreak, with a raquet throw by the Russian in a very ill-mannered way, which could have led to his disqualification. The members of Team World called for it, but all of that seemed to distract Shelton, who was leading 5-4 with two serves ahead, only to eventually succumb by 8-6 in this sudden death tiebreak.

- Medvedev made childish errors at the net in key situations

Far from being demoralized, the American started the second set with renewed energy, increasing his leg intensity and proving that he is on his way to becoming a star. He faced a critical situation in the eighth game, being down 0-40, which seemed like an ultimatum. He managed to avoid the abyss and emerged greatly strengthened, eventually securing the crucial break that leveled the match.

Tension filled the air during a decisive supertiebreak that was pivotal for the outcome of this Laver Cup 2024. The Russian struggled to construct points well and undid everything achieved with childish errors in the crucial moments, giving way to a Ben Shelton who led the scoreboard throughout this decisive game. He rightfully emerged victorious against a Daniil Medvedev whose performance in this tournament has been disappointing.
