Daniil Medvedev clinches an ATP Finals spot by reaching the Vienna semifinals
Daniil Medvedev beat Adrian Mannarino 6-2 6-3 in Vienna to clinch his seventh ATP Finals trip. Next up is a semifinal against Carlos Alcaraz.

Daniil Medvedev is headed back to the ATP Finals. The Russian beat French qualifier Adrian Mannarino 6-2 6-3 on Friday to reach the Vienna Open semifinals and lock up his spot at the season-ending event.
It will be Medvedev's seventh trip to the ATP Finals. He qualified every year from 2019 to 2024 before missing out last year.
The 30-year-old world No. 5 broke Mannarino early and cruised through the first set. He broke again at 3-3 in the second and closed it out with one more break.
Joining the field in Turin
Medvedev joins Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton in the eight-man field. Jannik Sinner also qualified but will not play because of injury, which leaves four spots still open.
The tournament runs Nov. 15-22 in Turin. Medvedev won the title in 2020 and reached the final in 2021.
A big bounce-back year
Medvedev has been on a roll. He has won four titles this season, passed 50 wins for the first time since 2023 and has now won seven matches in a row after taking the title in Almaty last week.
"I am happy that I played the important points better and was able to win the match," Medvedev said after the win.
Next up is a semifinal against Alcaraz, who beat Tommy Paul 6-4 7-6(2).
