Atp Finals, Sinner beats Medvedev and flies to semifinals from first

TURIN (ITALPRESS) – Already sure of a spot in the semifinals, Jannik Sinner closes the Nastase group at the Atp Finals in Turin in first place: after beating De Minaur and Fritz, the 23-year-old from Alto Adige drops the trio by folding Daniil Medvedev 6-3 6-4 after an hour and 13 minutes of play. Eighth win in the last nine official confrontations for the world number one (8-7 overall tally), who now awaits tomorrow’s Newcombe Group results to know who his next rival will be. Sinner’s victory also gives qualification to Taylor Fritz, who thus moves up from second. “It was a good match, the atmosphere is always beautiful, thank you all who came here. It really means a lot to me,” Sinner commented after the match. “It was a tough match. Daniil and I know each other quite well by now, I tried to play tactically in the right way. – He added – Now let’s see from the semifinals on. The first goal was this, we are happy and on Saturday we will see how it goes. We obviously hope to raise the level, but honestly I’m happy with how I’m playing now.”
