Stunning result in semi-final in Miami, Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner continues his formidable year. In the semi-final in Miami, Darren Cahill’s pupil had a dominant performance. The Russian Medvedev was permanently with his back to the wall, an unusual posture for the former world leader.

Jannik Sinner, perfect performance in the semifinal with Daniil Medvedev

Sinner had fantastic percentages. Won 80% of points played with first serve and committed only 3 unforced errors. Hard to imagine in front of the “octopus” from Russia, a player with an annoying defense.

Jannik’s forehand dictated the pace of the rallies, 17 straight game-winning runs compared to just 7 for Daniil.

The Italian also impressed in terms of passing shots. Medvedev was fooled in 8 of the 13 climbs to the net.

If he prevails, the Italian athlete will climb to second place in the ATP rankings, over Carlos Alcaraz. He will close to 1,015 points from the leader Novak Djokovic.

I felt very good on the pitch. As you progress through the tournament, you get more comfortable, you know the conditions. I am very happy with today’s performance. Daniil didn’t feel very well, he made a lot of mistakes, mistakes that he usually doesn’t make. I am very happy with the way we played and we will see how it will be in the final. I am a different person compared to 2021, everything has changed. I remember the night before that final, I couldn’t sleep, I was sweating continuously. Now it’s different, I hope to play my best tennis on Sunday, it’s a very important tournament for me. It is an extraordinary experience
