Alexander Zverev repeated his Wimbledon quarter-final victory over Arthur Fery, eliminating the British qualifier 6-0 6-2 at the Vienna Open. The top seed advanced to the semi-finals where he will face Alex de Minaur. Zverev's victory secures his return to world No 1 on Monday, making him the second German man to top the rankings since Boris Becker in 1991.
Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev booked his seventh ATP Finals appearance by overwhelming Adrian Mannarino 6-2 6-3. Medvedev joins Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Ben Shelton in the season-ending eight-man field. Sinner qualified but withdrew due to injury.
Medvedev will next face Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated Tommy Paul in the other semi-final. Zverev, reflecting on the win, praised Fery's tactical play despite the scoreline, noting Fery's strong season as a first-year pro. The semi-finals also feature de Minaur versus Matteo Berrettini's conqueror, setting up intriguing matchups at the Vienna Open.
