VIENNA, Oct 29 — 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 former world number one did not face a single break point in a dominant 6-4, 6-2 victory.

Medvedev will face either Denis Shapovalov or Borna Coric on Sunday as he bids to win his second title of the season.

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.

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.

Medvedev is edging closer to securing his place at the ATP Finals which get underway in Turin on November 13.
