Daniil Medvedev’s rollercoaster ride in Marseille over as he is stunned by Gilles Simon
Top seed Daniil Medvedev’s Open 13 Provence campaign came to an abrupt end in the quarter-final as he was dumped out by Gilles Simon.
Just a day after his erratic first-set display against qualifier Jannik Sinner prompting his “annoyed” coach Gilles Cervara to leave the players’ box, Medvedev was brushed aside by Simon with the Frenchman winning 6-4, 6-0 in 67 minutes.

The Russian had the early advantage as he broke in the opening game of the match, but Simon drew level at 3-3 and then claimed the decisive break in game 10 before running away with things in the second set.
Stefanos Tsitsipas delighted with his ‘passion, patience and fighting spirit’ during Marseille win
Simon will face Rotterdam finalist Felix Auger-Aliassime for a place in the final after the 19-year-old Canadian beat Egor Gerasimov 7-5, 6-2.
