World No.1 Daniil Medvedev lost to Roberto Bautista Agut in the quarter-finals of the Mallorca Open on Thursday, while second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas advanced to the Last four.

Medvedev was beaten 6-3, 6-2 by Bautista Agut who avenged his defeat by the Russian in last week's quarter-finals at Halle. "I had to play very good to beat Daniil. He's the number one, the last champion here in Mallorca. He just beat me a few days ago. I played a really complete match," said Bautista Agut, who takes on Switzerland's 303rd-ranked Antoine Bellier in the semi-finals.
