Medvedev, Sinner square up AO final rematch in Miami 1/2-finals

On Wednesday, Jannik Sinner secured a convincing victory over Tomas Machac with a score of 6-4, 6-2, advancing to the semi-finals of the Miami Open. In an eagerly anticipated rematch of the Australian Open final, he is set to face Russian Daniil Medvedev.

Meanwhile, third seed Medvedev secured his spot in the last four with a solid performance, defeating Nicolas Jarry 6-2, 7-6(7). Sinner’s journey to the Australian Open title earlier in the year saw him overcoming a two-set deficit against Medvedev, marking his first Grand Slam triumph.

Having suffered only one defeat this year, which occurred in the semi-finals of Indian Wells against eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner enters the Miami Open semi-finals with determination. However, defending champion Medvedev poses another formidable challenge, having displayed exceptional form throughout the tournament, not dropping a set en route to the semis.

While Medvedev faced a tough test against Jarry, ultimately prevailing in the tiebreak, he acknowledged Sinner’s growing prowess. “He’s playing better and better. He’s confident. Even in some matches I watch on TV where he’s in a little trouble, he manages to find solutions, and that’s what champions do,” Medvedev commented, looking forward to the upcoming challenge.
