The Russian tennis player defeated the Danish Holger Rune and was established after the double 7 to 5.
Daniil Medvedev became the champion in the Masters 1,000 in Rome after defeating the Danish Holger Rune in two sets, by doubles 7-5, and an intense match of almost two hours. The Russian thus won his first clay court tournament.
The match had a good start for the Dane, but was gradually killed by the Russian, who, with more experience in grand finals, held himself perfectly to withstand the attacks of the Dane and hit at the perfect moment.
The surface that historically had been elusive to him, in Rome became his best ally. Medvedev defeated Zverev in the round of 16 and Tsitsipas in the semifinals to reach the first final of his career at this venue.
Medvedev, to Rune: “I’m sure you’ll win many Masters 1,000s”
“I want to congratulate Holger on his second final of the year. You are a great player and I am sure you will win many Masters 1,000, It’s incredible to share the final with you”, declared the Muscovite at the award ceremony.
The current number 3 of the circuit, who will come to Roland Garros as number 2 after this victory in the Italian capital, left a unique detail when he also thanked the referee for his performance on the last point, confirming his success
