Daniil Medvedev and Denis Shapovalov are scheduled to take on one another in the finals of the 2022 Vienna Open on Sunday, October 30.
In previous years, Daniil Medvedev and Grigor Dimitrov have faced off a few times, but in their most recent match in the ATP Vienna semifinal, Medvedev was in complete control. From the beginning to the end, he completely dominated the #1-ranked Bulgarian, and the score of the match, 6-4 6-2, was determined without ever having to face a breakpoint on his serve. In the Australian Open final this January, the former world number one had three chances to break Rafael Nadal’s service and attempt a straight-set victory. However, he blew all three of those opportunities, and his season changed as a result. In these ten months, he has only won one championship, which was in an ATP 250 competition in Los Cabos.
In the ATP Vienna quarterfinal, Borna Coric required some treatment for a shoulder injury (which kept him out of play for the majority of the 2021 season), and Denis Shapovalov made the most of the situation to defeat the Croatian 7-6 6-0 in the final. Last week in Stockholm, the Canadian himself needed medical attention for a shoulder issue. Since then, he has made a full recovery and put up some strong performances to get to the final of the Vienna 500. He managed to defeat all three of his previous opponents this week (before to the semifinal) who had recently had success against him.
Daniil Medvedev and Denis Shapovalov are scheduled to take on one another in the finals of the 2022 Vienna Open on Sunday, October 30. The tournament is scheduled to be held from October 23 to October 30, 2022.
The ATP Vienna Open 2022 will have five rounds of action excluding the qualifiers. These are the round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. The competition’s main draw is set to commence on October 24, 2022 and conclude on October 30, 2022.
