The Russian second seed found the American serve-and-volley exponent a tough nut to crack at Margaret Court Arena and his frustration spilled over after losing the third set.
Apparently refused a request to leave the court to freshen up, Medvedev barked at the French chair umpire Renaud Lichtenstein and complained that Cressy was spending too much time between serves.
Medvedev wrapped up proceedings with a slew of huge serves before stepping in to thrash a forehand winner on match point.
Last year’s finalist, Medvedev next meets Felix Auger-Aliassime for a place in the semi-finals.

Now he will be up against one of the best players at the moment. Both the players will be facing each other for the first time in their career.
“Cressy started this year with a final. Now he is into the fourth round of a Grand Slam. He is going to be pretty confident. We’ll have to prepare well tactically, mentally. I heard he serves pretty well,” Daniil Medvedev said of his opponent.
With his exceptional consistency over the last few years, Medvedev enters the contest as a clear favourite. The American, despite being in his best form at the moment, will have to do a lot more against the World No. 2 to stand any chance of winning the game.
