Medvedev upset
He didn’t make it easy for himself. Seeded 1 in the ATP 500 tournament in Halle, Daniil Medvedev is still in the running for a first title on German grass, but on Wednesday he appeared more often upset than satisfied. Faced with strong resistance from the Serbian Laslo Djere, 65th in the world, the Russian needed three sets (6-3, 6-7, 6-3) and 2:10 to get out of it and chain a second victory this week. In the quarter-finals, he will find Roberto Bautista Agut who defeated Brandon Nakashima (7-5, 7-6).

Another disappointment for Tsitsipas: the highlights of his loss to Jarry
27 MINUTES AGO
At 4 points to 1, double mini-break in his favor in the tie-break of the second set, Daniil Medvedev saw himself validating a victory without brilliance but without history either. But too prone to concentration swings on Wednesday and hampered by the opposing aggressiveness (35 winning moves for Djere, 21 for the Russian), he lost the thread and embarked on a potentially perilous 3rd act. This sinusoidal level also pursued him since in this 3rd set where he quickly led 4-1, obtaining double break points before getting a new scare by conceding the break (4-3) and putting himself the public a little behind.
It must be said that the German spectators had not hidden their disappointment when the Russian had yielded the decisive game of the 2nd set, since they were impatiently awaiting the ceremony-tribute to Roger Federer, tenfold champion in Halle, planned in the presence of the Swiss following the game. But Medvedev was able to give a boost to win the last two games and ensure the essentials.
Tsitsipas still disillusioned
If the main seed is still alive, this is no longer the case for the seed 2. Eliminated from entry in Stuttgart last week, passed near correctional in the 1st round on Monday once morest Grégoire Barrère, Stefanos Tsitsipas disappointed once more on Wednesday. The Greek gave in in two tight sets (7-6, 7-5) and a little less than two hours (1h51 precisely) once morest one of the men in form of the moment, Nicolas Jarry. The Chilean will face either Alexander Zverev or Denis Shapovalov in the quarter-finals.
Another disappointment for Tsitsipas: the highlights of his loss to Jarry
It was by being particularly efficient in the important moments that Nicolas Jarry built his victory. Five times, he was faced with a break point in the first set, and he always got away with it, often serving bombs under pressure (79% first and 85% success behind). After snatching this first act 9 points from 7, he gradually gained the upper hand in the rally, his power forcing Tsitsipas to back down and abuse the serve and volley.
Result: the fateful break ended up at 5-5, Jarry impressive to conclude without trembling in the next game. Before Wimbledon, it is an understatement to say that the Greek does not cultivate his confidence. The lawn still does not succeed…
Zverev unrolls
The German does not have an easy picture in this Halle tournament, but he adapts well to it. After beating Dominic Thiem when he entered the competition on Tuesday, the Hamburg player this time dominated Denis Shapovalov in two sets (6-2, 6-4) to reach the quarter-finals.
