Medvedev eases into Vienna final

The Hindu  

Daniil Medvedev made short work of his last-four match against Grigor Dimitrov on Saturday to reach the final of the ATP tournament in Vienna. The Russian’s only tournament success this year came in an ATP 250 event in Mexico in August, which ended a run of five straight final defeats. “There were a few moments in the match where I thought I should have done just a little bit better, to go in front earlier and try to build the pressure earlier,” said Medvedev. That was enough today, and I’m really happy with my level.” He had lost his previous meeting with Dimitrov at Indian Wells last year but had no such problems this time around, securing victory by winning the last five games of the match.
