Oct 29 (Reuters) - Daniil ⁠Medvedev punched and slapped the court ⁠in frustration before producing a remarkable escape ‌to beat Britain's Cameron Norrie 4-6 6-3 7-6(1) at the Vienna Open on Thursdayand reach his 100th ​tour-level quarter-final.

• The former world ⁠number one extended ⁠his winning streak to six matches after successfully ⁠defending ‌his title at last week's Almaty Open.

• After dropping the opening ⁠set, the third seed fought back to ​force a ‌decider and twice recovered from a break ⁠down ​in the third, saving a match point when Norrie served for victory before dominating the ⁠tiebreak 7-1.

• Medvedev's frustrations spilled ​over early in the final set when he repeatedly bent down and struck the court after ⁠falling 0-2 behind, but the Russian regrouped to complete the win and keep alive his chances of securing a spot at ​the season-ending ATP Finals.

• ⁠Medvedev will next face French qualifier Adrian Mannarino, ​who stunned eighth seed ‌Jakub Mensik in the round ​of 16.

10 月 29 日（路透社）——丹尼尔·梅德韦杰夫在周四的维也纳公开赛上，沮丧地捶打球场，随后上演了一场惊心动魄的逆转，以 4-6 6-3 7-6(1) 击败英国选手卡梅隆·诺里，晋级他职业生涯的第 100 个巡回赛级别四分之一决赛。

• 这位前世界排名第一的选手在上周的阿拉木图公开赛上成功卫冕，将他的连胜纪录扩大到六场。

• 梅德韦杰夫在决胜盘开局阶段就因0-2落后而情绪失控，他多次弯腰击打球场，但这位俄罗斯选手重新振作，最终赢得了比赛，并保留了晋级年终ATP总决赛的希望。

• ⁠梅德韦杰夫的下一轮对手将是法国资格赛选手阿德里安·曼纳里诺，后者在 16 强赛中爆冷击败了 8 号种子雅库布·门西克。
