Tsitsipas claimed the lone break point of the final set in its sixth game, courtesy of a Medvedev double fault and closed out the match in two-hour, 23-minute.

"There were some difficult shots I had to play a bit more," ATP.com quoted Tsitsipas as saying.

"A few short balls I really took advantage of and came in. A lot of courageous serve and volleys approaches to the net that definitely gave me that great win today," Tsitsipas said of his measured game plan.

"I knew I had to sign up for a difficult task, third set, it wasn't going to be easy," Tsitsipas said post-match.

"He made it very physical and really demanding for me. I just took advantage of some of his missed first serves. I think I had a couple of opportunities where it seemed to be going towards my side," he further added.

"He (Medvedev) gave me a double fault on break point, which I think was a very important moment for me psychologically to give my best shot. I was a few games away and I was very calm and concentrated on every single task that was given to me," said Tsitsipas.

Tsitsipas will face Borna Coric, a 6-3, 6-4 winner against Cameron Norrie, in Sunday's title match.
