Rome, October 30 (LaPresse) – He needed just one more win to mathematically secure qualification, but Daniil Medvedev’s place in Turin is thoroughly deserved. The Russian booked his spot today at the ATP tournament in Vienna, beating Adrien Mannarino in straight sets in the quarter-finals, 6-2, 6-3. Having failed to progress beyond the fourth round of a Grand Slam in 2026, Medvedev has produced a remarkable late-season surge at a time when uncertainty had been the dominant theme. Over the past month, he first claimed the title in Hangzhou, then reached back-to-back semi-finals in Beijing and Shanghai, before winning again in Almaty. His record stands at 18 wins and just two defeats. No one has performed better during this latest stretch of the season, so welcoming him to Turin as one of the contenders for the title hardly seems a bold prediction.
