Daniil Medvedev has won 28 of his 31 matches in 2023 – the most on the ATP Tour – after beating 14th seed Karen Khachanov<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Former world number one Daniil Medvedev became the first player since 1981 to reach a fifth consecutive ATP final after beating fellow Russian Karen Khachanov in the Miami semi-finals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Medvedev, 27, was not at his very best but wore down his childhood friend Khachanov to win 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 6-3.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Medvedev, who emulated Ivan Lendl’s run 42 years ago, will play Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner for the title.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, Czech Petra Kvitova beat Sorana Cirstea to reach the women’s final.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two-time Wimbledon champion Kvitova, 33, won 7-5 6-4 to end the Romanian world number 74’s surprise run.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kvitova, who fought back from facing two set points at 5-4 in the opener, faces Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in Saturday’s final and will aim to end the Kazakh’s 13-match winning streak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Medvedev ‘happy’ at Wimbledon decision<\/h3>\n

On the day when <\/span>Wimbledon lifted its ban on Russian and Belarusian players,<\/span><\/a> one Russian was guaranteed to reach the final of the prestigious Masters tournament in Miami.<\/span><\/p>\n

Medvedev moved into Sunday’s final at the expense of 26-year-old Khachanov, with the victory coming hours after the announcement by the All England Club.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pair are among the players from the two nations allowed to compete again at SW19 – after missing last year’s Championships following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – providing they sign a declaration of neutrality.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m happy to know about this. I always said that if I can play Wimbledon, I will be really happy to be there,” said Medvedev, who won his only major title to date at the 2021 US Open.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s a tournament I love. That’s the only Slam where I haven’t been in the quarters yet. And I cannot say I hate grass. I really want to do well there.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Medvedev is a hard-court specialist and reached another final on the surface – though the first of his career in Miami – by edging past Khachanov.<\/span><\/p>\n

A tight match featured a tie-break to decide the first set, followed by single breaks of serve in the second and third, as fourth seed Medvedev earned his 23rd win in his past 24 matches. <\/span><\/p>\n

Medvedev won consecutive titles in Rotterdam, Doha and Dubai before losing in the Indian Wells final to Spanish world number one Alcaraz. <\/span><\/p>\n

Medvedev will have an opportunity in Miami to avenge that defeat if 19-year-old Alcaraz beats Italian 10th seed Sinner – a repeat of their Indian Wells semi-final – later on Friday (00:00 BST, Saturday morning).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
