MADRID, 12 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The world numbers one and two, Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, advanced this Friday to the semifinals of the Monte Carlo tournament, the third Masters 1,000 of the season, after beating the Australian Alex de Miñaur (7-5, 6-3) and the Danish Holger Rune (6-4, 6-7(6), 6-3) in the semifinals.
The two favorites in the Principality continue forward, one step away from the final that would measure them for the title at the start of the European dirt tour. ‘Nole’, in the tournament in the city of his residence, returned nine years later to the semifinals despite not finishing greasing the machine on dirt.
The champion of 24 ‘majors’ got complicated in the second set, where he went from 4-2 to 4-4, but he advanced his ticket to the semifinals against a De Minaur who beat him in the United Cup last January. Djokovic will have a tough obstacle before the final: the Norwegian Casper Ruud, seasoned on clay, or the Frenchman Ugo Humber, two-time ATP champion this season.
On the other hand, Sinner repeated ‘semi’ in the Principality taking revenge on his executioner last year and met with the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, two-time Monte Carlo champion. The champion of the Australian Open, Rotterdam tournament and Miami Masters 1,000 this year needed almost three hours to defeat a Rune who saved two match points before forcing the third set.
