He will now face Medvedev, who saw off fourth seed Miomir Kecmanovic 7-6 6-1 to guarantee 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 is complicated. The start was difficult but I played very well after losing the second set.
‘I try to play in my best level and it is incredible to return to the final. I love playing in Mexico.’
