Daniil Medvedev, the No. 7 seed, defeated Hungarian Fabian Marozsan 6-2, 6-7(3), 6-4 on Saturday evening at the Mutua Madrid Open, marking his first clay-court victory since the humiliating 6-0, 6-0 defeat he suffered at Monte-Carlo two weeks prior.
Tennis Majors reported that Medvedev's loss in Monte-Carlo came against Italian wild card Matteo Berrettini in just 49 minutes. The Madrid victory, though requiring a tiebreak in the second set, signals a return to form on the European clay circuit for the Russian player as the ATP season progresses toward Roland-Garros.
The Madrid Open continues through the week, with the draw advancing through subsequent rounds on the blue clay courts at the Caja Mágica.
