Medvedev reaches Halle’s 1/4 finals, while Tsitsipas crashes out

Daniil Medvedev defeated Laslo Djere in 3 sets 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3 to progress to the Halle Open 1/4 finals on Wednesday.

The Russian could have had it much easier if he had closed the match in the second set, but let a 4-1 lead through his fingers.

Nevertheless, the world No.3 managed to prevail eventually, as he is preparing for his first Wimbledon outing since 2021 after the event lifted the ban on Russian and Belarusian players.
