Medvedev wins 16th title after edging Sinner in Rotterdam

Sixth-seeded Russian Daniil Medvedev won his 16th title after defeating Italian Jannik Sinner 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 at the Rotterdam Open’s final on Sunday.

The former world number one Medvedev managed to convert five of 12 break points and limited his unforced errors to 17, compared to Sinner’s 30.

The 27-year-old Russian improved his record against Sinner to 6-0 as the Italian was looking for back-to-back titles following his victory at Montpellier, France.

Medvedev will return to the top 10 next week, moving up to the No. 9 spot in the ATP rankings.
