Daniil Medvedev and Steve Johnson to go head-to-head in Winston-Salem final
Daniil Medvedev will face Steve Johnson in the final of the Winston-Salem Open after a commanding semi-final performance from the Russian.
Medvedev needed just 64 minutes to dismiss Taro Daniel 6-1 6-1 to advance into his second ATP Tour final of the season.
Taro was a surprise name in the last four and he was powerless on the Medvedev serve throughout.
“This is as good as I have seen him play on a hard court” says @bgtennisnation on ESPN of Stevie Johnson playing in the @WSOpen in North Carolina

The Russian lost just 10 points on serve and swatted away the solitary break point he conceded too.
In the other semi-final, American Steve Johnson was much too powerful for Pablo Carreno Busta 6-3 6-4.
