Italian Open: Sinner Survives Medvedev Test, Late-night Suspension To Reach Rome Final
Career Golden Masters: Home favourite, Jannik Sinner, held his nerve under immense pressure, surviving a fine performance by his rival and a late-night suspension before returning on Saturday afternoon to eventually fight past Daniil Medvedev 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in the semifinals of the Italian Open in Rome.
With this win, Sinner preserved his pursuit of the Career Golden Masters as he reached the final of the event in his home country.
After a dominant first set, the World No. 1 was dragged into a far more gruelling and physical contest, while Medvedev gradually imposed himself and forced the Italian into extended defensive exchanges. When the 30-year-old levelled the match, Sinner appeared under severe pressure, but he responded with grit and composure to lead 4-2 before play was suspended for the night due to rain.
