Oct 30 (Reuters) - Daniil ⁠Medvedev secured a place at the ⁠season-ending ATP Finals for the seventh ‌time after overwhelming Adrian Mannarino 6-2 6-3 to reach the Vienna Open semi-finals on Friday.

The 30-year-old ​Russian, who missed out on ⁠the season finale ⁠last year after qualifying every year from 2019 ⁠to ‌2024, joined Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton in ⁠the eight-man field.

Jannik Sinner has also qualified ​but ‌will not compete due to injury, leaving ⁠four ​places still available.

Medvedev has enjoyed a resurgent season in which he has surpassed the ⁠50-win mark for the first ​time since 2023 and claimed four titles.

Medvedev took control early against Mannarino with a break ⁠of serve and eased through the opening set.

The former U.S. Open champion broke again at 3-3 in the second set ​and closed out the ⁠match with another break.

Medvedev will face either ​Tommy Paul or Alcaraz ‌for a place in ​the final.

10 月 30 日（路透社）——丹尼尔·梅德韦杰夫周五以 6-2 6-3 横扫阿德里安·曼纳里诺，晋级维也纳公开赛半决赛，第七次获得赛季末 ATP 总决赛的参赛资格。

这位 30 岁的俄罗斯车手去年错过了赛季总决赛，此前他从 2019 年到 2024 年每年都获得了参赛资格。他与亚历山大·兹维列夫、卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯和本·谢尔顿一起进入了八人参赛阵容。

Jannik Sinner 也获得了参赛资格，但由于受伤将不会参赛，因此还剩下四个参赛名额。

梅德韦杰夫本赛季强势复苏，自 2023 年以来首次取得超过 50 场胜利，并斩获四项冠军头衔。

梅德韦杰夫开局便破发成功，轻松拿下首盘。

这位前美国网球公开赛冠军在第二盘3-3平局时再次破发，并最终以另一次破发结束了比赛。

梅德韦杰夫将在决赛中对阵汤米·保罗或阿尔卡拉斯，争夺决赛席位。
