VIENNA: World No. 4 Daniil Medvedev marched into the final of the Vienna Open after downing Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-2 in their semifinal clash, here on Saturday.
The 26-year-old came up against a confident opponent striking the ball cleanly but the top seed had all the answers. Just as it had against Jannik Sinner in Friday's quarterfinals, Medvedev's relentless retrieving and precise serving proved the difference as he charged to a 85-minute victory to reach the championship match in Vienna for the first time.
Medvedev, who is yet to drop his serve this week across four matches in Vienna, will face Denis Shapovalov who beat Borna Coric 7-6 (4), 6-0 in the second semifinal. IANS
