Defending champion Cameron Norrie confronted world number one Daniil Medvedev in the final of Abierto de Tenis Mifel with a victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime.
The British number one battled in the second semi-final in Los Cabos, Mexico to a 6-4 3-6 6-3 victory over the Canadian second seed in two hours 19 minutes.
Norrie’s success, his first over Auger-Aliassime in five meetings, kept the third seed on course for a third ATP Tour title this year.

He now faces Medvedev, who defeated fourth-seeded Miomir Kecmanovic 7-6 6-1 to secure the top spot in the world rankings until at least the end of the US Open next month.
Norrie told reporters, “You always want to defend the title, but it’s complicated. The start was difficult, but I played very well after losing the second set.
“I’m trying to play at my best level and it’s incredible to come back to the final. I like to play in Mexico.’
