The Crucial Phases of the Match

In the first set, Medvedev showed off his service prowess, hitting two aces to confirm the initial break. However, Sinner was undaunted and held his serve steadily. The Russian then created opportunities for a counterbreak, saving a break point before winning the deciding point.

Despite a vigorous reaction from Medvedev, who won his service game at 15, Sinner managed to close out the set. In the second set, Medvedev opened by holding serve at 15, but Sinner responded with a flawless game, leaving his opponent at love. The turning point came in the eighth game, when the Italian broke the Russian’s serve again and closed the set without conceding any points.
