Vienna, October 29

Novak Djokovic saved four set points in a 7-6(11) 6-3 win over Borna Coric to reach the Vienna Open quarterfinals and move one step closer to sealing the year-end No. 1 ranking. Djokovic can lock up the top position by winning the title on Sunday.

Otherwise Rafael Nadal could still mathematically overtake him, although the Spaniard would need to enter a tournament in Bulgaria next month in order to do so.

Third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas rallied to defeat Jan-Lennard Struff 6-7(3) 6-3 6-4 and set up a second-round match with Grigor Dimitrov.

Fourth seed Daniil Medvedev advanced to the second round with a 6-3 6-1 win over Jason Lung.

Medvedev next plays Vasek Pospisil, who beat Canadian countryman Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-5 7-5. Jannik Sinner defeated Caspar Ruud 7-6(2) 6-3 to set up a match against Andrey Rublev. — 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).
