Medvedev had a patchy start in the first set, where Ivashka led the game 4-5 and had three set points on hand. It was at this moment, Medvedev showed his class as he won the game and leveled the score 5-5. From then on, both the players won their respective service games to take the set into the tie-breaker, with Medvedev winning it 7-4.

Things were more comfortable for Medvedev in the second set, when a series of finely-crafted passing shots were the highlight as he wrapped up a one-hour, 36-minute victory to improve his career match record on grass to 30-15.

“He is a great player,” said the 26-year-old after he improved his lead in the pair’s ATP Head2Head series to 3-1. “He had a lot of bad luck with injuries at the beginning of the season. At the end of last season he was playing really great tennis.

“I’ve known him since I was very young, we actually played [each other] in Futures, Challengers, and on the ATP Tour. He beat me once in Davis Cup, which is a really important tournament. So he knows how to play tennis, he knows how to play well on grass, so I’m really happy that two times in a row I managed to pass a tough test.”

Medvedev next faces seventh seed Roberto Bautista Agut or qualifier Tallon Griekspoor in his maiden quarter-final appearance in Halle.
