With his 6-4, 6-3 win over Reilly Opelka in the final in Toronto, Daniil Medvedev continued to show why he’s one of the most clutch players in the game today.

The Russian has now won seven of his last eight finals.

The stretch starts after his razor-thin 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4 defeat against Rafael Nadal in the 2019 US Open final (which lasted four hours and 51 minutes). Since then he’s 7-1 in finals, the only loss coming to another 20-time Grand Slam champion.

MEDVEDEV’S FINALS SINCE LOSING 2019 US OPEN FINAL TO NADAL
~ 2019 St. Petersburg: d. Borna Coric (6-3, 6-1)
~ 2019 Shanghai: d. Alexander Zverev (6-4, 6-1)
~ 2020 Paris: d. Alexander Zverev (5-7, 6-4, 6-1)
~ 2020 ATP Finals: d. Dominic Thiem (4-6, 7-6 (2), 6-4)
~ 2021 Australian Open: l. to Novak Djokovic (7-5, 6-2, 6-2)
~ 2021 Marseille: d. Pierre-Hugues Herbert (6-4, 6-7 (4), 6-4)
~ 2021 Mallorca: d. Sam Querrey (6-4, 6-2)
~ 2021 Toronto: d. Reilly Opelka (6-4, 6-3)

Medvedev was 5-6 in finals after that 2019 US Open final loss—he’s now 12-7.
