Column by Fabrizio Gallas analyzes Sinner’s victory against Djokovic and predicts Sunday’s final against Medvedev
An impressive performance from Jannik Sinner this Friday. He wasn’t afraid of Novak Djokovic. He put the Serbian in his pocket. An error in the third set made him angry, many took the Serbian’s comeback for granted, but the Italian concentrated again and returned to his previous pattern, dominant in serving and returns.
It was a real lesson. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a Grand Slam for Djokovic. Sinner didn’t give the Serbian any chance to break. No opportunity for the best comeback on the circuit, perhaps the best in history, by the way. This already says a lot about how the match was. And against a player who has totaled 33 consecutive victories in the tournament in which he has won ten times in his career.
Friday’s match represents a milestone in the Italian’s career. Last year’s victories at the ATP Finals and the Davis Cup helped him, they made him believe and this is a crucial point in tennis, it gives you confidence in the important moments of big matches like today.
Sinner arrives physically fresh and confident for the final against Daniil Medvedev, who made the victory count from his recent victory against Zverev. Second comeback from 2-0 in this tournament alone, that of the Russian who demonstrates tenacity and fight, but takes it to a lower level than Sunday’s decision. The end is the end, things change and Sinner will have to prove himself and prove that his time to shine has truly come.
