Stan Wawrinka produced an impressive display to beat former world number one Daniil Medvedev for his first top-10 win since 2020 in Metz on Thursday. 

The three-time Grand Slam champion, currently ranked 284th in the world after injury problems, missed a match point in the second set before winning 6-4, 6-7 (7/9), 6-3 to reach the quarter-finals. 

Wawrinka came through two rounds of qualifying to make the main draw of the ATP event and has now won four straight matches. “I’m very happy with the level of play that I managed today,” said Wawrinka, who missed 12 months from March 2021 with a tendon injury.
