World number one Jannik Sinner overcame a restless night to complete a rain-interrupted victory over Daniil Medvedev, reaching the Italian Open final on home soil. The top seed secured a 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 win in a semi-final suspended Friday due to heavy rain, with Sinner leading 4-2 in the decider.
On Sunday, Sinner faces Norwegian Casper Ruud, whom he has never lost to in four meetings.
The victory extends Sinner’s remarkable Masters winning streak to 33 consecutive matches, a record run. By reaching the final, Sinner becomes the first Italian since Nicola Pietrangeli 68 years ago to achieve back-to-back Rome finals.
