Jannik Sinner advanced to the Italian Open final after beating Daniil Medvedev in a match that spanned two days and featured significant physical challenges. The world No. 1 won 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 despite vomiting on court and suffering cramps. He will face Casper Ruud on Sunday.
The semifinal at the Foro Italico turned dramatic in the second set when Sinner began struggling visibly. He vomited on the side of the court, leaned on his racquet, and received treatment for cramps including a medical timeout and pickle juice. Medvedev questioned the situation with the chair umpire, while commentator Jamie Murray described the scene as a tough one to explain.
