Popyrin, who has been on a rich vein of form this year winning his first Masters tournament in Montreal in August and beating Novak Djokovic in the US Open, edged Medvedev 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (7/4) in a gripping second round match.

However, Alcaraz was in commanding form in the second set, giving his Chilean opponent only one game as he raced to victory.
