Halle open: Daniil Medvedev beats Laslo Djere in 3 sets to reach quarterfinals, Jarry upsets Tsitsipas

Daniil Medvedev continued building momentum after recent setbacks as he moved into the quarterfinals of the Halle Open on Wednesday, beating Laslo Djere 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-3 at the grass-court tournament. Medvedev could have wrapped up the second-round match in straight sets when he took a 4-1 lead in the second-set tiebreaker but lost the next four points as Djere took control. Medvedev is coming off first-round losses at the French Open and last week at the Libema Open, his first grass event of the season.
