Ebden retires to put Medvedev into final
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 Sunday (AEDT).
The No.1 seed and world No.3 will face French No.93-ranked Pierre-Hugues Herbert for the title.
World No.287 Ebden left the court for a medical timeout after the first set, returning with his movement clearly compromised.
"It's a real shame for Ebden," Medvedev, who will take the world No.2 spot from Rafael Nadal in Monday's latest ATP rankings, said.
"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."
