Daniil Medvedev has 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.
The 30-year-old Russian, who missed out on the season finale last year after qualifying every year from 2019 to 2024, joined the already qualified Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz and Ben Shelton in the eight-man field.
Jannik Sinner has also qualified but won’t 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.
He took control early against Mannarino in Friday’s quarter-final with a break of serve and eased through the opening set.
The former US Open champion broke again at 3-3 in the second set and closed out the match with another break.
The Russian will next face Alcaraz, who defeated American Tommy Paul 6-4 7-6 (7-2).
