In his post-match interview, Murray was asked how he fought back – to which he laughed and responded:
“I don’t know – that was one of the most amazing turnarounds I’ve had in my career.
“I have no idea how I managed to turn that one round, to be honest.
“I’ll enjoy this evening and hopefully put on a good performance tomorrow.”
Murray continued in his post-match interview, highlighting his calmness in his victory.
“There is a certain calmness to those situations because you have been in them a lot in a short period of time,” Murray said.
“You know how you need to try and play and it becomes a little bit of a habit.”
It becomes the third time Murray has won from a match-point down this year, and he has now won all six deciding sets that he has contested.
The final will be a tough test for Murray, as he takes on 2021 US Open champion Medvedev.
Medvedev advanced to the final by beating second seed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4 7-6 (9-7).
