Australian Open, day 15: Jannik Sinner-Daniil Medvedev, for the men’s final, minute by minute, live

One thing people have noticed Jannik Sinner was unflappable on his way to the final of Australian Open. And also her big smile. In the semi-final, against the 10-time champion of the tournament, Novak Djokovicwhich in that case he had never lost Melbournethe Italian quickly took the first two sets and overcame the comeback attempt of the winner of 24 titles grand slam. She didn’t face any break points. He was not fazed by the noisy fans of the Rod Laver Arena nor was he intimidated by the moment or the stakes: his first ending of a greater. That certainly won’t change when he faces the Russian Daniel Medvedevchampion of US Open 2021 and twice finalist here, in the final this Sunday, from 5.30pm in Argentina (ESPN 2 and Star+).

Sinner missed a match point in the tiebreak against Djokovic – the only set lost in six rounds – and 55 minutes later, after the umpire called for silence for the third time, Sinner served for another match point. He hit a right hand to win and as the referee announced: “Game, set and match: Sinner”, the one born 22 years ago in San Candido raised his arms and smiled. He couldn’t contain her. His eyes shone as he meekly headed towards the net to greet Djokovic as if he didn’t want to rub his victory in his face. Without much fuss, happy to move on.

Medvedev has since become the first male player Pietro Sampras in 1995 he reached the final of the Australian Open, recovering from being down two sets and was two points away from elimination before winning 5-7, 3-6, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5), 6-3 a.m Alexander Zverev. And now, against Sinner, he will play his sixth Serie A final greater.

The Italian is in his 17th Grand Slam tournament and is the first Italian to reach the final in Australia. His moment has been compared to the first title of Roger Federer. The Swiss failed to reach the semi-finals in his first 16 majors before winning Wimbledon.

Sinner was not a world-class player when he lost in the Wimbledon semi-finals to Djokovic, but his two subsequent victories against the world number one in November in the ATP finals and Davis Cup semi-finals have certainly made him more recognisable.

It also helps that it has the Carrot boys from the Italian Open in May. What started as a temporary idea by six friends to dress as carrots has grown into a group of followers who have traveled around the world and will participate in the four Grand Slam tournaments.

Sinner’s game has evolved since he changed coaching teams in 2022, reaching the quarterfinals in Australia, Wimbledon and the US Open. Darren Cahillthe Australian who helped Andrea Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt AND Simona Halep to recover or reach number one, he realized as a television commentator Sinner’s talent and that he could reach the top.

Cahill indicated that Sinner has the same qualities as other Grand Slam champions he has worked with and, more importantly. “Work ethic, purpose, desire, desire to learn, great tennis intelligence from all the champions, it’s incredible. “Jannik has everything,” he told her. And a sense of humor, too, Cahill added. “He’s a good guy.“He has all the qualities that all great champions have, but you have to start winning for it to bear fruit.”
