SPORT.RU invites you to a direct online text broadcast of this meeting:
Tennis. APR. Rome. The final. Rune – Medvedev. Direct
Russia’s first racket – Daniil Medvedev – continues to collect the finals of the current season. Late last night, our tennis player dominated Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas (7:5, 7:5) in straight sets at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia tournament in Rome and reached his sixth final in 2023. In the previous five, Medvedev has four wins and one loss.
However, the current final is something different for Daniil, something new, as Medvedev will be playing for the first time in his career in a Masters clay title match. The Russian organizes a great tournament in Rome, demonstrating excellent tennis. It seems that the unsuccessful performances in Monte Carlo and Madrid benefited Daniil. He was able to pull himself together, prepare well for the Italian Masters and will now compete for his fifth title of the season. Medvedev has never won five titles in one season. What motivation will Daniel have today! We add that in case of victory today, the Russian will become the second racket in the world and, perhaps, already at Roland Garros he will be able to challenge Alcaraz in the fight for the palm in the ATP ranking.
Our tennis player’s rival – 20-year-old Dane Holger Rune – has also added seriously in recent months. This season, one of the most promising tennis players of our time has only won the Munich tournament so far. However, it is obvious that soon Rune will be able to compete, if not for the title of first racket in the world, at least for a place in the top 5 or even the top 3. As of next Monday, Holger will become at least the sixth racket in the world, and the fifth line, occupied by Tsitsipas, is already two steps away. She can already submit to the Rune at Roland Garros. At the Rome Masters, the Dane dominated two top 5 tennis players at once (Djokovic and Ruud), indicating the Dane’s excellent form.
Between them, Medvedev and Rune met only once. It was at the Monte-Carlo Masters a little over a month ago. Then, at the quarter-final stage, the Dane delivered an almost perfect match and was able to beat Daniel in straight sets (6:3, 6:4). However, in this fight, Medvedev played unsuccessfully, having played one of his worst matches in recent months. Now the Russian is physically much better prepared and psychologically fully ready to exact revenge on Rune.
