SPORT.RU invites you to a direct online text broadcast of this meeting:
Tennis. APR. rotterdam. The final. Sinner – Medvedev. Direct
Sunday evening February 19, the Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev will fight for his first title of the season. In the last match of the ATP-500 tournament in Rotterdam, the Russian will meet the representative of Italy Yannick Sinner. For Medvedev, it will be the 28th final of his career, and if he wins, Daniil will win the 16th singles title.
We immediately note that in the confrontation with the Italian Sinner, our tennis player has a positive statistic of personal encounters. And to be more specific, only Daniil has won in all head-to-head matches between tennis players. Twice Medvedev beat Yannick at the Marseille tournament, in 2020 (1:6, 6:1, 6:2) and 2021 (6:2, 6:4). In the same year 2021, which can probably be considered the most successful in Russian career so far, Medvedev beat Sinner in the ATP Championship Finals (6:0, 6:7, 7:6) . And the last duel of tennis players took place last October, at a tournament in Vienna. Then Medvedev confidently took over in the quarterfinals (6:4, 6:2).
Both tennis players were in the top 10 of the ATP rankings recently, but left the top ten some time ago. At the current tournament, Medvedev is the 11th racket in the world and Sinner is the 14th. Both after reaching the ATP Rotterdam final improved their position in the rankings. Yannick is now up to 12th place and will stay there even if he wins the final. But Medvedev, after winning the semi-final, returned to the top 10. And if Daniil wins the title in Rotterdam, he will be the 8th racket in the world. In any case, the Russian is already taking steps to return to the top lines of the rankings, where he spent the last 3 years of his career.
It should be noted that during the tournament, each of the tennis players beat a representative of the top 10 in his path. Medvedev in the quarter-finals treated the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime (6:2, 6:4) with confidence series under the 3rd number. And Sinner, still at the 1/8 stage, knocked out the first seed and the current third racket in the world, the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas (6:4, 6:3), from the tournament.
