Top seed Medvedev continues quest for first trophy of 2022, books spot in Libema Open semi-finals

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.
