    Nadal 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 3-6 Medvedev

    Nadal served for the match at 5-4 in the second set but Medvedev, after blowing the chance to go 5-1 up in the same set, just produced some outstanding hitting to force a tie-break and then take the decider.

    It feels like there is a change, a definite shift - Djokovic and Nadal losing on the same day in the semi-finals.

    Nadal 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 3-6 Medvedev

    Daniil Medvedev speaking after his victory: "At 5-4 in the second set I decided to change some mall things and start going for things a little more. I had to change and it worked really well.

    "Dominic is playing amazing right now. I practised with him and we had good rallies, a really good level of tennis."

    Daniil Medvedev is through to the final!

    He notches his first win over Rafael Nadal and will face Dominic Thiem tomorrow for the title.

    Forward comes Nadal - and his volley doesn't clear the net!

    Match point, Medvedev...

    *Nadal 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 3-5 Medvedev

    Down the T goes a swinging first serve from Nadal, but he follows it up with a double fault!

    Ouch. Deuce.

    *Nadal 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 3-5 Medvedev

    Medvedev goes for broke on a backhand and misses, before he passes a tentative Nadal at the net.

    We go to 30-30 as Nadal slides a backhand out of bounds.

    Can Nadal ask the question of Medvedev?

  13. Medvedev a game awaypublished at 22:49 GMT 21 November 2020

    *Nadal 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 3-5 Medvedev

    An ace is followed by a big double fault from Medvedev, but any nerves are settled by a couple of misses from Nadal.

    A lovely forehand, and Medvedev is a game away from the final.

    Medvedev hasn't been amazing at backing up a break of serve, but then neither has Nadal...

    Third time lucky!

    Medvedev moves forward and smashes and leaps and roars; the break of serve in the decider has gone his way.

    *Nadal 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 3-3 Medvedev

    Medvedev rushes forward and Nadal, perhaps a touch surprised, pulls his backhand into the net.

    Break point number three...

    And again, it's saved wonderfully by Nadal, going out wide with the serve before bullying Mededev off the court.

    Oh, another superb flick of the racquet from Medvedev, and he's got another break point...

  19. Postpublished at 22:42 GMT 21 November 2020

    *Nadal 6-3 6-7 (4-7) 3-3 Medvedev

    Medvedev should have another break point but he goes way too quickly on a forehand and ends up blasting it into the net.

    Nadal serves and volleys, and ends up getting passed with ease.

    40-40 once again.

    Brilliant!

    A huge serve down the T, just Nadal's second ace of the match, and we go to deuce.
