Rune will face the winner of the second semifinal between two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, the No. 2 seed, and 13th-seeded Jack Draper.

Medvedev won the last of his 20 ATP Tour titles in 2023. The 29-year-old Russian lost to Alcaraz last year in the Indian Wells final.

In the women's final Sunday, top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka will face 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva. They won semifinal matches Friday night in chilly conditions.
