Kyle Edmund will play Novak Djokovic in the second round of the Madrid Open after beating Daniil Medvedev.
Edmund saved five break points in the first set - including one in the final game - to take the first set in 52 minutes.
The second set took only 25 minutes as the world number 22 took control of the match by breaking Medvedev in all three of his service games to claim a 6-4 6-0 victory.
Medvedev's best chance of clawing his way back into the contest came and went in the fourth game when he put pressure on Edmund's serve, but the British number one responded to win the game with an ace.
Edmund sealed victory in style, winning the sixth game to love to set up a meeting with former world number one Djokovic for a place in the third round.
