Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas advanced to the quarterfinals of the Mallorca Championships on Wednesday, while Nick Kyrgios withdrew to avoid aggravating an injury ahead of Wimbledon. ()
The top-ranked Medvedev overcame a slow start in a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 win over Aslan Karatsev, while Tsitsipas triumphed 6-4, 6-4 against Ilya Ivashka.
Medvedev, the defending champion, improved to 8-2 on grass this season although he has lost two straight finals on the surface.
바카라Last year was amazing. I played great tennis,바카라 Medvedev said. 바카라I like it here in Mallorca.바카라
He will next face Roberto Bautista Agut, who advanced after Kyrgios withdrew ahead of their match because of an abdominal injury.
바카라I have been playing a lot of great matches lately and unfortunately I woke up with a pain in my abs. I went to see the tournament doctor right away and he advised that I don바카라t play tonight,바카라 Kyrgios said. 바카라I really value the Mallorca Championships but I will follow his advice as I don바카라t want to risk Wimbledon next week.바카라
Kyrgios needed more than two hours to defeat Laslo Djere 5-7, 7-6 (1), 7-6 (1) in the previous round of the grass-court tournament that serves as preparation for Wimbledon.
Medvedev will not play at Wimbledon this year because the All England Club has barred players from Russia and its ally Belarus over the war in Ukraine.
Tsitsipas faced no break points in his comfortable victory over 40th-ranked Ivashka.
바카라I felt like after my first serve, I was really able to get behind the ball and pick the right spots,바카라 Tsitsipas said. 바카라It was I guess very difficult for the opponent to be able to adjust to this. I was doing it very well. I was very dedicated to that. It was really good for me from start to finish.바카라
The sixth-ranked Tsitsipas will next face American Marcos Giron, who defeated countryman Mackenzie McDonald 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4.
