Daniil Medvedev warned a player could die in the 90-degree heat at the US Open.<\/p>\n

Medvedev needed medical attention and an inhaler as he struggled in the hot and humid conditions before beating his fellow Russian Andrey Rublev.<\/p>\n

The roof on Arthur Ashe Stadium was partially closed to protect the players from the sunlight, but both were visibly wilting during the two hour 48-minute battle.<\/p>\n

Late in the third set, when Medvedev went to his towel, he said into a television camera: \u201cOne player is gonna die and they\u2019re gonna see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following his 6-4 6-3 6-4 quarter-final victory, the 2021 champion recalled an incident earlier this summer when Chinese player Wu Yibing collapsed during a match in Washington.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI could talk a lot, brutal conditions for both of us.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I don\u2019t know if it could be seen through the camera, because we are sweating so much and use a lot of towels.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no skin left on my nose here, and, like, here it\u2019s red, but it\u2019s not because of the sun so it\u2019s not like you\u2019re burned but I have no skin left.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cI just saw Andrey in the locker room and his face is very red, and it\u2019s also not because of the sun so I guess it\u2019s the same. That tells everything, like we left everything out there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing is that even if it would go further, I think we would still leave even more. Then I don\u2019t think I had anything left but if the match would go on, I would find something more.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the only thing that is a little bit, let\u2019s call it dangerous, is the question how far could we go? Maybe we could go five sets and it would be\u2026 when I say \u2018fine\u2019, yeah, we would struggle a little bit next day and it would be fine, or we have a person in Wu who fell down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Medvedev said he felt shaky as he tried to recover from the match.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m feeling kind of okay now. I\u2019m just pretty exhausted. Let\u2019s say, yeah, do couple of interviews here and there straightaway, and it was tough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was with an ice towel there. Everything was foggy, like I couldn\u2019t see clearly. Because the match is over, so the adrenaline is not there anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I was, like, a little bit shaky. Then I come to the locker room and that\u2019s the toughest part because you kind of want to just sit there for hours. But you know that if you do it, it\u2019s not a good recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cSo I sat there for, like, 10, 15 minutes, went and did a quick ice bath. Changed. Went to eat. But had, I don\u2019t know how you call it in English, when sugar blood, sugar levels go up. I started sweating, my head started turning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said to my team please bring me any food. I was sitting there like this sweating like hell even with the AC on, and they brought some food and then I felt better. Yeah, that\u2019s how it is sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rublev, who has now lost nine out of nine quarter-final matches at grand slams, said: \u201cI\u2019m not even thinking about my health.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know. At this moment, these moments I\u2019m thinking that I need to fight. Doesn\u2019t matter how, it\u2019s tough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, the sport is not easy. And you need to be ready for everything that can happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
