Daniil Medvedev punched and slapped the \u2060court in frustration before producing a remarkable escape to \u200cbeat Britain’s Cameron Norrie 4-6, 6-3, \u200c7-6(1) at the Vienna \u200cOpen on Thursday and reach his \u200c100th tour-level quarter-final.<\/p>\n

The former world \u200cnumber one extended his winning streak to six matches after \u200csuccessfully defending his title \u2060at last \u200cweek’s Almaty Open.<\/p>\n

After dropping the \u200bopening set, the third seed fought back to \u200bforce a decider and twice recovered from a break down \u2060in the \u200bthird, saving a match point when Norrie<\/a> served for victory before dominating the tiebreak 7-1.<\/p>\n

Medvedev<\/a>‘s frustrations spilled over early in the final set when he repeatedly bent down and struck the court after falling 0-2 behind, but the Russian regrouped to complete the win<\/a> and keep alive his \u200cchances of securing a spot \u200bat the season-ending ATP \u200cFinals.<\/p>\n

Medvedev will next face French qualifier Adrian Mannarino<\/a>, who stunned eighth seed Jakub Mensik<\/a> in the round of \u206016.<\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> also later earned \u200bhis 60th tour-level quarter-final appearance with \u200ca 6-1, 7-6(11)<\/a> victory over Nikoloz Basilashvili<\/a> in the second round of the Vienna Open, saving four set points in a dramatic second-set tiebreak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniil Medvedev punched and slapped the \u2060court in frustration before producing a remarkable escape to \u200cbeat Britain’s Cameron…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":818662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-818661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/818662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=818661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=818661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
