Magical. Merciless. Medvedev. @DaniilMedwed reaches a first Vienna final, defeating Dimitrov 6-4 6-2 in a flawless performance 💯 #ErsteBankOpen
Daniil Medvedev will play in the Vienna Open final as the Russian defeated Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets 6-4 6-2.
Medvedev has not played since Astana due to a muscle injury but he looked as good as ever this week in Vienna. He's looking even better now as every match helps him feel more comfortable with the conditions and more confident in his games.
The Russian did just enough in the first set against a very solid Dimitrov. Every game was a competitive game with chances on both sides but Medvedev was far more successful in picking his spots and that was the more efficient approach.
He also served much better than Dimitrov and that gave him an easy-going on his serve, especially when he hit his first. Dimitrov did not have that luxury and the abundance of chances for Medvedev proved vital as he cruised to a 6-2 finish in the second set.
Only four points dropped behind his first serve including 6 aces and 17 winners proved more than enough to secure the final in Vienna.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
