Jannik Sinner, drenched in sweat before reaching the quarter hour of the final the Russian ended up winning Daniel Medvedev by 7-5 and 6-3. It was very hot and humid in Miami, although not only the weather factors had an influence, the Italian added several sections that led to a general illness that did not allow him to compete as he would have liked against a rival who not great either. Six games, that’s a lot of losses.

“I didn’t get up in the best possible way. I felt a bit sick, but I tried on the track. Unfortunately it wasn’t my day, but I don’t want to take any credit away from Daniel (Medvedev). He served fantastic, he played some tough tennis. It is one of the best in the world. I tried, but it wasn’t my day”, said the transalpine.

He explained that “there are no cramps. They’re not cramps. Everything’s fine. It’s a general thing, it doesn’t feel one hundred percent.”

The doctor “gave me salts, which helped a little but didn’t have an incredible effect. There’s no magic potion when you wake up like this,” he said.

I don’t want to talk about it anymore Carlos Alcaraz. “Enough said,” he said. Although he slipped that effort in the semifinal “influenced physically, a little, although a victory like this also gives you confidence.” He prefers to focus on Medvedev, although the intensity of Friday’s match left a noticeable mark on the Italian. It’s also emotional because it means a lot to him to dominate his biggest generational opponent.
