The Russian l've eliminated him in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon

Overcoming, in three sets, even the Paul obstacle, Sinner è earned himself a place among the top eight at the US Open. No small accomplishment, considering how many bigs were lost along the way during the tournament (Alcaraz and Djokovic above all). By beating the American, the world number 1 has hit a truly significant milestone.

He became, in fact, the only tennis player to have reached the quarterfinals in all Slam events this season. He's only managed to do so, demonstrating why he is, at present, No. 1 in the world. Now, however, on his way is the great rival, namely Medvedev. As is well known, the Russian eliminated him in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon (in five sets).

In fact, this is an early final, considering that Medvedev, on paper, è the only big man left on the US Open draw along with Sinner himself. It is a challenge that promises sparks with the Italian who will try to improve a statistic in which he è losing. In fact, the Russian leads in the previous records: seven wins to five.

"With Medvedev it will be very tough, physically and mentally, I hope it will be a good match and that you can have fun" the words of Sinner himself spoken at the end of the match he won against the American Paul. The Russian is having a masterful tournament, playing at a very high level but Sinner is well physically, è ready for the challenge and, best to remember, è the number 1 in the world.
