Denmark's Holger Rune beat Daniil Medvedev 7-5, 6-4 to reach the Indian Wells ATP Masters final on Saturday, denying the Russian world No. 6 a third straight trip to the title match.
Rune, ranked 13th, snapped a seven-match losing streak in semifinals and will face Britain's Jack Draper on Sunday after he upset two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 6-1, 0-6, 6-4.
"It means everything," Rune said. "The job is not over yet, but it feels amazing. Playing Daniil is one of the toughest challenges for me on tour. I obviously had the right tactics, but it was still so difficult because he puts in great effort and is super solid."
