Despite ending up with cramps or on the verge of suffering greatly from them, Daniil Medvedev stayed strong to close his match with Alex De Miñaur in two sets and without too many complications. Long points were maintained throughout the match, although it is true that the Australian could not display his most explosive level.

With this victory, Daniil Medvedev confirms his good streak on the Asian tour and that great moment at the ATP Shanghai 2025. The changes in the coaching staff have brought some tranquility to a player who, although still puts on a show on certain occasions, appears somewhat more composed on the courts.

"It was a close match. He had many opportunities, perhaps more than me. I managed to be a bit more decisive in crucial moments. I am pleased with my tennis, especially in the last two games, and I am happy to have advanced to the next round," said Daniil, who will face Arthur Rinderknech in the semifinals.

- Daniil Medvedev explains the reason for the double faults

"I committed a couple of double faults in the first set. I was drenched, having a hard time gripping the racket. I am super happy to be in the semifinals in Shanghai, looking forward to playing the next match."

- How much is he willing to sacrifice to be at the top?

"The year has been very tough. I feel great now, happy to try to end on a high note. I love Shanghai, so I am happy to play good tennis here. It's not over yet; I will try to give my best in the semifinals.

I have already given a lot, but I am not sure if I am ready to give more for this. I just want to give my best. I gave my all throughout the year, and it was a very tough year. I wasn't playing at my best level, so I am happy that right now I am showing great tennis, great signs of my former self or my new self, and I am just looking for what's next."

- Medvedev analyzes his next opponent: Arthur Rinderknech

"He is a very tough opponent. He is the kind of player who, when at his best, can beat anyone. His serve is incredible, and he strikes the ball very well. He is not the kind of player that, when at his best, you know you will still have chances during rallies. He will try to finish the point in two shots, so I will try to do the same, play well, and see how it goes."
