Jannik
Sinner (No. 3) gave a tennis masterclass to Daniil Medvedev (No. 4) with a
score of 6-1, 6-2, securing his spot in the Miami Open final for the second
consecutive year. The Italian was more consistent than his opponent and nearly
unstoppable with his serve, setting up the title match with the chance to
surpass Carlos Alcaraz as the world No. 2.
Sinner was
dominant from start to finish, having no trouble neutralizing his opponent's
serve and being relentless in his own service games. He capitalized on
Medvedev's early inconsistencies and secured a break in the second game.
Sinner had
to save two break points before taking another consecutive break, and in less
than half an hour, he was already leading 5-0. Although Medvedev managed to
secure his first service game, he had no chance of a comeback as Sinner closed
out the set on his serve, winning it 6-1.
The second
set followed a similar pattern as Sinner grabbed another break early on. When
the world No. 3 was serving at 2-1, Medvedev wasted a break opportunity, and
from there, Medvedev's level dropped abruptly, committing a series of unforced
errors that are unusual for a player of his caliber.
Sinner once
again found himself leading 5-1, dominating from the baseline, and capitalized
on Medvedev's frustration to close out the match in just one hour and 9 minutes, winning 6-1, 6-2.
The 2024
Australian Open champion will play his third final in Miami, having fallen
short in the title match in 2021 against Hubert Hurkacz and in 2023 against
Medvedev. The title match will be against the winner between German Alexander
Zverev (No. 5) and an inspired Grigor Dimitrov (No. 12).

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
