Russian Daniil Medvedev, the top seed, moved into the last four of the Dutch Open by winning against Belarusian Ilya Ivashka 7-6 [8], 6-4 at the Autotron Rosmalen on Friday evening.
Medvedev, who is ranked No 2 in the world at the moment but who will rise to the top spot shortly, will play Frenchman Adrian Mannarino next.
He is still looking for his first trophy of 2022 – but will be heartened that he won his first senior title on a grass court last year, in Mallorca.
The Russian defeated French qualifier Gilles Simon (7-5, 6-4) in the previous round of ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
In the previous rounds of the Rosmalen, Ivashka, ranked No 49, beat American Mackenzie McDonald (6-3, 6-7 [8], 6-1) and Finn Emil Ruusuvuori (6-4, 6-2).
