Resuming the match in contrasting warm, sunny conditions on Friday, Medvedev recovered from an early mini-break in the tie-break to book a date with the winner Marton Fucsovics.

The 27-year-old has yet to lose a set this fortnight. He opened his campaign with a straight-sets win against home favourite Arthur Fery on Wednesday and will hope to keep his perfect run alive when he returns to the court for a third round on Saturday.
