Daniil Medvedev lifts Winston-Salem Open trophy after flawless week
Medvedev did not lose a set in six matches.
Daniil Medvedev completed a flawless week at the Winston-Salem Open by defeating Steve Johnson to lift the trophy.
The Russian did not drop a set during the tournament and needed only an hour and 24 minutes to defeat Johnson 6-4 6-4.
The victory brought 22-year-old Medvedev a second ATP Tour title after his maiden success as a qualifier in Sydney in January.
He has been particularly dominant on serve this week and was not broken in either his semi-final victory over Taro Daniel or the final, with Johnson creating just a single break point in the final game.
American Johnson, who was looking for his third title of the year, had lost serve only once himself during the tournament going into the match but one break in each set proved enough for Medvedev.
Both men now move on to the US Open, where Medvedev will try to win his first match at Flushing Meadows against compatriot Evgeny Donskoy, while Johnson faces Denis Istomin.
