Medvedev into Marseille final as Ebden limps out
MARSEILLE (AFP) - Daniil Medvedev made it into the Marseille ATP final after Aussie qualifier Matthew Ebden retired injured with their semi-final at 6-4, 3-0 in the Russian s favour on Saturday.
The top seed and world number three will face a French foe in Sunday s final, the winner between Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Ugo Humbert playing later Saturday.
World number 287 Ebden left the court for a medical timeout after the first set, returning but with his movement clearly compromised.
"It s a real shame for Ebden," sympathised Medvedev, who will take the world number two spot from Rafael Nadal in Monday s latest ATP rankings.
"He s had a dream week with this semi-final from qualifying.
"And today, up to his injury, he was almost playing better than me."
