The opening set which was taken by Sinner in a tie-break was led by the most part by Medvedev who went 3-1 up and 4-3 up. But Sinner only led in the end in the tie-break as Medvedev spurned set points.

This proved vital as Sinner again survived a set point and had one of his own before converting to seal it 9-7.

It was the tale of two breaks in a row for Medvedev in the second set as Sinner went down 6-4 before a truly remarkable final set. The latter had nine chances to seal the break before finally doing so in a 31 point game.

Only to lose his serve straight back. He could've won a lot easier having a match point at 5-2 up, but Medvedev stayed alive and nearly sent it the distance with Sinner having to wrestle the win on advantage in the end in a gruelling contest.
