Wawrinka (ATP 155) only had to concede defeat to the world number seven Medvedev after two and a half hours. The Swiss, who won the tournament in Rotterdam ten years ago, came back from 3:5 down in the first set and fended off two set points before winning the tie-break 10:8.
After winning the first set, Wawrinka immediately conceded a break, which was a small preliminary decision in this match. The Vaud native only came close to a service break once after that. In the end, Medvedev, who had been playing below expectations for months, had the match under control.
