Daniil Medvedev sets up Marton Fucsovics showdown in Sofia

Daniil Medvedev dominated Gael Monfils to set up a final clash with Marton Fucsovics at the Sofia Open.
The Russian put in a powerful performance, easing to a 6-2 6-4 success in just 76 minutes to qualify for his sixth career final.
It continues a fine run of form for Medvedev, who won three titles in 2018 before starting this season with finishing runner-up in Brisbane to Kie Nishikori.
Daniil Medvedev d. Gael Monfils 6-2, 6-4 to reach the final in Sofia vs Marton Fucsovics.
Another great, great performance from Daniil, who is 12-2 in 2019…

Hungarian Fucsovics now stands in his way in Sofia after he rallied from behind to beat Matteo Berrettini 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 in the other semi.
Berrettini will be kicking himself, though, after failing to take advantage of a break point in the second set.
Fucsovics is hoping to claim his second career ATP Tout title after winning in Geneva last year.
