The Russian fourth seed won 6-3 7-5 after a brilliant performance.
Medvedev, 27, will now play fellow Russian Karen Khachanov, who beat Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo 6-3 6-2.
The 2021 US Open champion’s fine streak of form has continued as he has won 22 of his past 23 matches. His win over Eubanks means he has qualified for the semi-finals at a fifth straight ATP event.
