Kyrgios advanced to the final after saving a match point in the third-set tiebreak to upset No. 1 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas Saturday night. The Aussie will now get a chance to claim his second ATP 500 title of 2019, after winning the trophy in Acapulco earlier this year. Acapulco and Washington have been the only events of 2019 in which Kyrgios has advanced past the Round of 16. To earn the title, he will have to pull another upset over World No. 10 Medvedev. The two met for the first time earlier this year, with Kyrgios taking the 1-0 advantage after winning in three sets on the clay courts of Rome. Medvedev's 2019 résumé includes the title in Sofia, breaking into the Top 10 for the first time, and claiming a victory over World No. 1 Novak Djokovic to reach the semi-finals at the ATP Masters 1000 Monte Carlo. Doubles team Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau are bidding for their 20th career doubles title together and second at Washington.

En route to the final this week, they defeated No. 4 seeds Mate Pavic and Bruno Soares, Bob and Mike Bryan, and Alex de Minaur and John Peers. Today they will face off against No. 3 seeds and 2019 Wimbledon semi-finalists Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus. Their last and only previous meeting was at 2018 ATP Masters 1000 Paris, where Rojer/Tecau won 7-6(4), 6-0. Klaasen/Venus have reached the quarter-finals or better at nine events this year, including a title on the grass at Halle.

This time, he will face No. 52 Nick Kyrgios, who has powered his way through four rounds behind a menacing service game that includes 73 aces. Kyrgios' road to the semi-final includes wins over qualifier Thai-Son Kwiatkowski, No. 11 Gilles Simon, Yoshihito Nishioka and lucky loser Norbert Gombos. Kyrgios is 3-1 against Top 10 opponents this year, and this is his first contest against the 20-year-old Greek. No. 1 seed Tsitsipas is contesting his seventh semi-final of 2019, his second at an ATP 500-level event. Lucky loser Peter Gojowczyk is into his sixth career ATP Tour semi-final. At a ranking of No. 122, the German is the lowest-ranked Citi Open semi-finalist since No. 128 Donald Young in 2011. Should he reach the final, he will become the lowest-ranked Citi Open finalist since No. 416 John Isner in 2007. But to get to the next stage, he will have to get through his toughest test this tournament as he faces No. 3 seed Daniil Medvedev. Gojowczyk has had an impressive performance this week, defeating three seeded players in No. 12 Alex de Minaur, No. 8 Milos Raonic, and No. 13 Kyle Edmund. Friday evening's semi-final meeting will be the first Tour-Level meeting between Gojowczyk and Medvedev. They met at a Challenger event in 2015 in Shanghai, which Medvedev won in three tight sets. The World No. 10 has only been broken once this week, putting him into his seventh semi-final of 2019. STATS OF THE DAY o Nick Kyrgios leads the remaining semi-finalists in aces with 73. Gojowczyk has 43, Medvedev has 37, and Tsitsipas has 12. o Daniil Medvedev has faced only 4 break points this week in three matches; he saved three of them. o Peter Gojowczyk spent 2 hours on court in his semi-final against Kyle Edmund, the longest time of the remaining semi-finalists. o Nick Kyrgios played in the shortest semi-final on court at 58 minutes against Norbert Gombos.
