The world's number one in tennis won with 6–2, 1–6, 6–1, 6–4.

The match became a highly eventful story where the Italian initially looked convincing and easily took the first set. In set number two, however, Medvedev, ranked fifth in the world, managed to raise his game and the set was his.

The match was characterized at times by long duels between two ball-safe players who rarely miss. In the end, however, Sinner was the stronger and showed why he has so far this year won both the Australian Open and several other heavy titles.

The key to victory?

Offensive play and being very far forward at the net.

Sinner won 28 of his 33 net visits.

We tried to work on that part of the match, he says to the AP news agency.

In the semifinal, Jack Draper awaits, who beat Alex De Minaur from Australia with 3–0, which means the Brit has not lost a set so far during the tournament.
