Record-Breaker Sinner Beats Medvedev to Set up Italian Open Final with Ruud

Sinner won in three sets after a rain delay and a medical timeout, extending his bid for a sixth straight Masters 1000 title.

  • On Saturday, top-ranked Jannik Sinner defeated Daniil Medvedev 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 in their rain-delayed Italian Open semifinal, advancing to face Casper Ruud in Sunday's final.
  • Heavy rain suspended the match on Friday with Sinner leading 4-2 in the third set; returning to the Campo Centrale on Saturday, Sinner finished in 15 minutes to clinch victory.
  • Norway's Casper Ruud reached the final after a dominant 6-1, 6-1 victory over Luciano Darderi on Friday; Sinner holds a 4-0 record against Ruud, including a 6-0, 6-1 win in Rome last year.
  • The men's final is scheduled for Sunday, with Italian President Sergio Mattarella slated to attend and Adriano Panatta presenting the trophy to the winner.
  • Sinner is one victory away from becoming the second man after Novak Djokovic to win all nine Masters 1000 titles; following Rome, he heads to the French Open, his only remaining Grand Slam.
