The Muscovite succeeded in the list of winners Carlos Alcarazwhich was indirectly helped by wearing ‘semis’ sinful without the necessary strength to face the final with guarantees against an opponent who had defeated him for the sixth time.

The sinner asks for a doctor

Flattened, with worried glances at his technical team, he was left in the hands of the Russian, who did not waste the opportunity to win his nineteenth ATP title, always in different locations. It is the fifth with the Masters 1000 ATP category.

a bud of $1,262,220, a trophy and 1,000 ranking points. It seems far-fetched, but he is quietly accelerating the fight for world number one in the medium term if he maintains this trend of results.

Medvedev He played with the two speeds that he exploits so much. At the turn of the serve, top speed with every move, even when people haven’t stopped talking. It’s like rushing, pim-pam-pum. The rest, against, gradually builds a pediment wall to return the balls needed until the opponent’s error comes.

Alcaraz left the Sinner melted

The Russian did it all. He won his first ten points by serving. He made two double faults and ended up in the first foul. The third, suffered the first ‘break’: 3-2 Sinner despite the fact that he wandered the track between point and point. A little lost, sweat dripping, clothes soaked.

The effort required by Alcaraz Friday night, a temperature above 30º C, merciless humidity. melted. From morning he felt pain, no strength. If Carlitos paid for it with cramps in the semifinal itself, Sinner was touched.

bad business against Medvedev, the tennis player with the most titles (18) and matches won (226) on hard courts since 2018. His natural element. Depends on yourself. After that ‘break’ conceded due to his double faults, a favorable 5-2 share. Set in the bag at a time of 7-5.

Marker down, 60 minutes to the limit of his forces, he did not give for more Sinners. The finalist in 2021 failed, at the hands of the Pole Hubert Hurkacz, He showed attitude and professionalism. He never gave up, nor did he allow himself to be sporting. He gave what he had. Not enough of a crash of this level.
