Former world champion Daniil Medvedev was superior, scoring 23 goals, and finally defeated his compatriot Andrey Rublev 7:5, 6:4.

Warriors star Riley scored a key reversal with a three-pointer to help the team defeat the Phillies and gain a draw advantage in the wild card series.

Braves star slugger Austin Riley hit a reversal three-pointer in the bottom half of the eighth inning, helping the team defeat the Phillies 5-3, winning one game first in the best-of-three wild card series and gaining a draw advantage. The Phillies took the lead in the top of the seventh inning on J.T. Realmuto's crucial triple, but the Braves took the lead again in the bottom half of the eighth inning after a hit and a touch ball, with Riley beating closer Joan Duran's high-speed fastball to take the lead again and hold on to the victory. Warriors starting pitcher Chris Sale pitched 6.2 innings and allowed 3 runs, which had no bearing on victory or defeat. Terminator Risel Iglesias held on to the victory without allowing a run in 1 inning. Tulan's reliever allowed 3 runs in 2 innings and lost. Riley's regular season performance was sluggish, hitting only 19 home runs and 72 RBIs, with a batting average of 0.219 and an OPS of 0.654, both the worst in his career. Warriors head coach Walter Wise praised Riley's stable mentality and believed that his lack of mood swings with performance was the key to his ability to perform at critical moments.
