Carlos Alcaraz reached the Vienna Open final for the first time after beating Daniil Medvedev 6-4 7-6 (7-2) on Saturday. He will face Alex de Minaur, who upset Alexander Zverev in the final.

Alcaraz reached the 37th tour-level final of his career and his fifth of the year, while extending his winning streak at ATP 500 events to 25 matches.

The second seed took the opening set after Medvedev double-faulted to hand him set point. The Russian responded strongly in the second, however, forcing a tie-break.

With neither player able to establish a decisive advantage, Alcaraz unleashed a barrage of powerful groundstrokes in the breaker to seal victory in 96 minutes.
