Daniil Medvedev held off a late surge from Frances Tiafoe to beat the American 7-5, 7-6 (7/4) on Saturday and reach the Indian Wells ATP Masters 1000 final for the first time.

Sixth-ranked Medvedev, coming off ATP titles in Rotterdam, Doha and Dubai in the space of three weeks, pushed his win streak to 19 matches and awaits the winner of the other semi-final between top-seeded Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and 13th-ranked Italian Jannik Sinner.
