ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — Daniil Medvedev has defeated Miomir Kecmanovic 6-0, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals of the Adelaide International. The former world No. 1 — now ranked No. 7 — had an easy time for his third victory in three tries against the Serbian. Top-seeded Novak Djokovic has won 30 straight singles matches on Australian soil and will play Thursday for his place in the quarterfinals and a possible matchup against Medvedev in the semifinals. Medvedev is seeded No. 3 and will face fellow Russian Karen Khachanov for his spot in the semifinals.
