Jannik Sinner was on the brink of another ATP Masters 1000 final when heavy rain interrupted his semifinal showdown with Daniil Medvedev at the Italian Open. The world No. 1 was leading 6-2, 5-7, 4-2 before play was halted due to persistent rain in Rome. The match will resume on Saturday afternoon.
Before the suspension, the match had seen over two hours of intense play with momentum shifts. Sinner took the first set convincingly with his aggressive baseline game. However, signs of discomfort started to show in the second set as he struggled physically, allowing Medvedev to force a decider.
Sinner, known for his remarkable ATP Masters 1000 winning streak, faced a tough challenge from Medvedev in the second set. Despite this, he managed to take the lead in the third set before the rain delay. Sinner is now just two games away from securing a spot in the final at Foro Italico and potentially making tennis history by completing the Career Golden Masters.
