The track is very loaded after the whole week of rain and the judge is considering stopping the competition until the rain stops.
In a few moments the game will start. Both are already rallying on the central court of the Roman enclosure. Spectacular duel in sight.The match promises strong emotions, already knowing that Holger Rune is the one waiting for tomorrow’s final. We start shortly!Although they have already met in four Masters 1000 (Cincinnati, Shanghai and Monte Carlo and Miami), this afternoon will be their first face to face in Rome.The duel between the Russian and Greek tennis players is already a modern classic on the professional circuit. Up to 11 times the faces have been seen since 2018, with a record of 7-4 for Medvedev, although the last duel between the two was taken by Tsitsipas in the Nitto tournament at the end of 2022.
The match will start just after the other semifinal between the Nordics, which is being played by Casper Ruud (Norway) and Holger Rune. The duel between the two has gone to the third set on a court on which a light rain has been falling all morning that conditions the game a bit, but does not endanger their dispute.The second semifinal of the Rome Masters 1000 in the men’s category between Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas will begin shortly.
