Sinner solidifies position as top contender at US Open

Earlier this year, Sinner and Medvedev played two five-set matches against each other. Sinner won the Australian Open final after coming back from two sets down, while Medvedev got revenge at Wimbledon. In their latest match, there was potential for another five-setter when Medvedev had a chance to break Sinner’s serve at 2-3 in the fourth set, but he couldn’t convert. Sinner then broke serve in the next game, sealing the victory.

In his on-court interview, Sinner described the match as tough, noting the physicality of their encounters. He mentioned the importance of making the first break, which allowed him to gain momentum. Sinner took advantage of his aggressive play at the net, winning 28 out of 33 points when approaching the forecourt. This strategy contributed to Medvedev’s high number of unforced errors.

Sinner acknowledged his improvement in net play and expressed satisfaction with his performance, looking ahead to his next match against Draper. Despite Draper’s previous win against Sinner, the Italian is considered a heavy favorite this time. The potential final opponents, Fritz and Tiafoe, also pose challenges, but Sinner’s strong form puts him in a favorable position.

With Alcaraz and Djokovic out of the picture, the path to the final looks promising for Sinner. His focus now shifts to the upcoming matches as he aims to continue his impressive run in the tournament.
