Overview
- Daniil Medvedev beat Arthur Rinderknech 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the U.S. Open fourth round without dropping a set.
- Medvedev recovered from an early break in the first set by winning four straight games and then tightened his serve to close out the match.
- He entered Flushing Meadows as the seventh seed and is defending only a small number of ranking points, giving him scope to climb with a deep run.
- Some coverage and fan reaction have noted a return to the calmer style that powered his 2021 U.S. Open title, a contrast with his recent five‑set battles and uneven summer results.
- Reports from a single outlet say Medvedev has taken former world No. 33 Andrey Golubev on a trial coaching basis, a detail that remains provisional but could explain changes in his on‑court approach.
