“It is a privilege to have this kind of pressure. The crowd has given me so much energy,” Sinner said.

“It is an incredible feeling because it was a really tough match. I am happy to be in the final.”

It was an equal game all around as tight margins decided the first two sets. In the final set, however, Medvedev lost his focus and handed Sinner a breaking game with an unexpected double fault, which was all the Italian needed to cruise to the finish line.
