Mason (US), August 20

Top-ranked Daniil Medvedev moved into the Cincinnati Open semifinals as he prepares for his US Open title defence, beating 11th-seeded Taylor Fritz 7-6(1) 6-3.

The 26-year-old Russian looked sharper Friday than he did last week in Montreal in a Round of 32 loss to Nick Kyrgios.

Medvedev will face No. 7 Stefanos Tsitsipas in the semifinals, who outlasted John Isner 7-6(5) 5-7 6-3.

Unseeded American Madison Keys advanced to the women’s semifinals with a 6-2 6-4 victory over Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina. Keys will next face two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, who cruised past Ajla Tomljanovic 6-2 6-3. The unseeded Kvitova, ranked 28th, will be Keys’ third consecutive opponent with a Grand Slam title to her credit. “I think that’s just how tennis is,” Keys said. — AP

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
