Daniil Medvedev advances to the semi-finals of the Vienna ATP 500 tournament after defeating Adrian Mannarino 6-2, 6-3 on Friday. The world number five will face Carlos Alcaraz in the next round, with the winner securing a spot in the year-end ATP Finals. Medvedev joins fellow Russians Alexander Zverev and Ben Shelton in the season-closer, which will take place in Turin from November 15-22.

Alcaraz, the 23-year-old seven-time Grand Slam champion, will face American Tommy Paul in the quarter-finals, having defeated Paul 6-4, 7-6 (7/2).
Meanwhile, Alexander Zverev solidified his status as world number one with a 6-0, 6-2 victory over British player Arthur Fery, setting up a clash with fifth-seeded Australian Alex De Minaur in the next round.
