Jannik Sinner has never defeated Daniil Medvedev. The Italian thought he could ward off bad luck on Sunday afternoon in the final of the Miami tournament, but the Russian proved to be ruthless and triumphed 7-5, 6-3.
Medvedev will rise to 4e world rank Monday. Dominating from the back of the field throughout the duel, the 6’6″ giant had no difficulty controlling the rallies.
The Russian is the man of the hour in the ATP. He has qualified for the final of the last five tournaments he has taken part in and has won four of them.
