Spectacular semi-final awaits us in this Miami Open 2024 between two of the best players in the world: Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner. Reissue of the final that we experienced in this same tournament just twelve months ago.
And what happened in that final? That Daniil Medvedev won 7-5 and 6-3, chaining his sixth consecutive victory against a Jannik Sinner unable to hurt him. What was the Italian’s reaction? Beat him in their next four matches, including one in the final of the Australian Open where the Russian led comfortably by two sets to zero. A lot of history behind this rivalry and many pending accounts from the past in this Miami Open 2024, but that is still many hours away. Before the big battle, we heard the man from Moscow reflect on his victory against Nicolás Jarry in the quarterfinals this past morning.
Victory worked against Nicolás Jarry
“I would say that he raised his level as the game progressed. For my part, I think I showed a good level of tennis in the first set, although I didn’t do anything special either, just enough to win that set. At that moment he was satisfied, but he started to improve a lot, the rallies and the points started to get harder and harder, he even started to serve much better. At the end a couple of points tiebreak They ended up deciding everything, as so often happens in the world of tennis. Not even the match point It was easy for me with that tremendous rest, but in the end I managed to handle the situation and move on.”
Great support from the Chileans in the stands
“The truth is that I was not surprised by the situation at all, in fact, I expected an even more hostile environment than what we had, so I was prepared for it. I expected a large number of fans supporting him and against me, but for my part this always means a great atmosphere around the match, many times the chair umpire asked us if we were ready to resume the game, although for us it was not There was no type of problem, at no time did it become a negative situation. I think the attitude of the public was good, I think there was also a sector of the stands that supported me, they probably weren’t Chileans, so they made me feel very good.”
Sinner in the semi-finals
“He is playing better every day, you can see that he understands with a lot of confidence, I have been able to see it in some games that I was able to watch on television this week. At times he was in trouble in this tournament, but he was always able to stay on his feet and find a solution, that’s how great champions do it. For me it is a great challenge, I will need to improve my game a lot and offer my 100% on the court. I know it won’t be an easy challenge, but I’m motivated and I want to go out there and go for it, I hope to manage it better than the last time.”
