10.00pm: No match for Medvedev, Siner never stops
(Gaya Picardie) The chess master is always kafir. Medvedev is Kasparov without the castling and without the forehand (5 free errors in the first set alone), nailed like a collector's insect on the diagonal of the backhand by the absolute Yannik, who then sinks it with a drive. There's no pity or game in Miami, The Red Baron sterilizes worries with perfect conformity. His quiet power reached the final for the second year in a row, and eliminated the defending champion: from Russia without any anger, Daniil Medvedev.
The lesson learned from the first two sets of the Australian Open was instructive. A foul is a player who does not commit the same foul twice. So, after two months, he is the one who starts like a rocket so as not to run the risk of having to chase: he has scored two of the seven break points given to him by the Russian, buried by embarrassing statistics (47% of points won with the first), he does not need Extra time, just a simple effort to cancel two chances at 2-1, Then he runs away. 6-1, too good to be true. “This is the highly anticipated final of the tournament. By winning the second Master 1000 tournament of his career tomorrow, he will move up another spot in the rankings: No. 2, vs. Carlos Alcaraz, who regressed into adulthood (“I felt like an inexperienced thirteen-year-old”) in the quarterfinals against the handsome Dimitrov, adept at sinking his elegant tennis into the insufficient depth of an Ercolino ball, and ended up inside (another) black hole Of clarity. Yannick doesn't allow himself any breaks, instead pressing the accelerator. He wants it all, now. The Mist of Tennis with Grixpor, O'Connell and MachakThree consecutive matches in which he broke his serve. Steamed under the Florida sun. With Medvedev, the battle plan was not to leave the initiative to the Russian, who had to perform miracles to regain the point (60 to 37 at the end), frustrated and complaining, unable to make any reaction.
If the pinnacle of tennis until January was a tournament of four people (Djokovic, Alcaraz, Medvedev and Sinner, mentioned in the rankings at that time: it seems as if it were centuries ago), after 61 days, As the king of the Australian Open, the Red Baron is amplified: It is clear that the clash with Alcaraz in Indian Wells was functional for all this beauty, to work to dismantle the Russian number 4, to consolidate Leadership Towards the ATP Finals in Turin, to other good tales of Cinerian hagiography. The second group is not much different from the first: Medvedev is too upset to regroup and try to make a comeback. With nothing to lose, the man from Moscow lets go of his arm and tries to get back under him, but Siner won't let him. We take the partial (6-2), Closes in record time (1h09') It included a fifth consecutive success (now 5-6) over a rival who first struggled, then was hounded, and finally was taken apart piece by piece, like a puzzle in which the last piece was lost.
Djokovic missed, Alcaraz collapsed, and it's hard to know who can stop this sinner on a mission on behalf of the tennis gods: Neither Zverev (with whom the Italian trails in direct comparisons 4-1) nor Dimitrov (2-1), on the field during the night in the other semi-final, seem equipped for such a gigantic task. So the third final in Miami in four years could be a good final to get into the clay court season (the calendar doesn't allow any break: next week we actually play in Monte Carlo) with the new seeding and other confirmations in the bag. “I felt great on the field, very comfortable – he said immediately -. I made a lot of mistakes, I benefited from it. I expected a very tough game, but it ended quickly.” As in Melbourne, there is a lot of Jannik Sinner for everyone. “I'm a different player, a different person. Not remotely ideal. I remember that here, in 2021, I could not sleep because of emotions: now I control my emotions better.” Emotions await him in the final tomorrow, to shake his hand strongly.
