Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev played another classic, but this time, the Russian player won the match.
The two have developed quite a rivalry in recent months. They have played several times, and most of those matches were very important. It started last year in Rotterdam when Medvedev bested Sinner in the final, but the Italian got his revenge later that year.
He bested him in a few finals, including the Australian Open final this year, which was an iconic performance by the Italian. Medvedev led 2-0 in that match, but Sinner turned around the match to win his maiden Grand Slam trophy.
A tie-break settled it, and Sinner won it as he was generally the better player in the opening set. He was aggressive and hit the ball really well, which proved crucial.
