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.
