Speaking after the match, Medvedev said: \u201cThis and the Tokyo Olympic Games [were the worst conditions ever], it was brutal.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only good thing I see in these conditions is that both suffer. It\u2019s tough for both of us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were ups and downs but that\u2019s so normal. At the end of the third set I kind of couldn\u2019t see the ball anymore. I kind of played with sensations. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Daniil Medvedev has warned that one player \u2018is going to die\u2019 given the hot conditions in New York <\/p>\n
\u201cIt seemed like he couldn\u2019t run anymore, but he kept coming back. Super tough to win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tournament organisers did impose extreme heat measures on Wednesday, but male players could only take a 10-minute break after the third set. <\/p>\n

The only saving grace for the tournament on Thursday is that both women\u2019s singles semi-finals take place under the lights in the evening, when conditions will have cooled. <\/p>\n
That being said, one of the men\u2019s singles semi-finals will take place from 3pm ET on Friday, again in the middle of the day. <\/p>\n
