Russia’s Daniil Medvedev qualified for Madrid Masters round of 16 after defeating qualifier Andrea Vavasori (Italy) 6: 4, 6:3.
Medvedev, who is ranked third in the world, is considered the biggest rival of Carlos Alcaraz, who is defending his title from Madrid last year.
“I always try to give my best. Today I felt very good on the court, I was in control, and that is very important on clay,” Medvedev said after the success.
Vavasori, who is ranked 164th in the world, knocked out Andy Murray in the previous round. In the next round, Medvedev will play against his compatriot Andrei Shevchenko, who won easily over the Czech Jiri Lehecka 6:1, 6:1.
