Home favorite Jannik Sinner triumphed over Daniil Medvedev in a tough semifinal match at the Italian Open in Rome. Sinner’s victory keeps him in the running for the Career Golden Masters as he advances to the final in his home country.
After a strong start, Sinner faced a resilient Medvedev who pushed him into a more challenging battle. Despite the pressure, Sinner showed resilience and composure, ultimately securing a 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 win after a late-night suspension due to rain.
Sinner’s win propels him to the ATP Masters 1000 final, where he will face Casper Ruud. A victory in the final would make Sinner only the second man, alongside Novak Djokovic, to achieve all nine Masters 1000 titles.
By reaching the Rome final for the second year in a row, Sinner extends his Masters 1000 winning streak to 33 matches. He also becomes the second player, after Rafael Nadal in 2011, to reach the final of the season’s first five Masters 1000 tournaments.
