Sinner-Medvedev 1-2: Jannik wakes up and reopens the final

Jannik Sinner returns to hope: after paying the strain of his first career Slam final by losing the first two sets, the Italian tennis player gets back into the match by winning the third set against Daniil Medvedev in the final of the Australian Open 2024. The South Tyrolean champion starts very contracted, paralyzed by tension, and suffers a lot both on serve (firsts do not enter) and in response, while the Russian (already è five slam finals) has easy game and è very solid in serve.

Signs of awakening come already in the second set, but è in the third set that Jannik really gets his hopes back: his serve comes around again and finally the Azure snatches the first coveted break from Medvedev in the tenth game, winning the third set and reopening the final.

Sinner è made it to the final after a three-set victory in the quarters against Andrey Rublev of Russia and a triumph in the semifinals against title holder Novak Djokovic, folded in four sets.
