Troicki knocked out of Kremlin Cup by world no. 123 Medvedev

MOSCOW - Serbian tennis player Viktor Troicki has failed to reach the quarter-finals of the Kremlin Cup in Moscow after losing 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 to world number 123 Daniil Medvedev of Russia on Thursday.

In yet another display of unpredictability, fourth-seeded Troicki was defeated by the little-known Russian despite having a one-set advantage at one point in the match.

In a bid to reach the semi-finals, Medvedev will face Frenchman Stephane Robert.

The prize money in Moscow is 717,250 dollars.
