Damn, that’s some rebuttal in the third set!

I ran out right after the early break, thinking the 3rd would go long, and I came back for the handshake! I look forward to the replay of the 3rd, but that's impressive.

I have to agree with Rafanoy the number of point ending backands from the baseline from Sinner is something I haven't seen before against Meddy, to crack bhand finishes from neutral against a defender like Meddy, is quite special. Well done Sinner

I knew when Medvedev’s 1st serve came down in the 3rd set, Sinner will pounce on that! But the way he did it especially at the end of the match was surprising and amazing!

BTW the winner's of the SF matches received a cool $1,105.000 each
( If Jannik wins it underfeated his payday will be $4,801.500)

Fun Stat!
Jannik Sinner is the first man to reach the final of the ATP Finals undefeated before the age of 23 since 2003, last man to do it was Roger Federer.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just looking at Medvedev season in 2023, quite a good season,

66 wins ( 12 vs Top 10, 27 vs Top 20)
19 match win streak
5 titles Rotterdam, Doha,Dubai, Rome ( 1st Masters title on clay)
8 finals
3rd USO final
First Wimbledon SF
Year end No 3 ranking

He's always done it. He's got a big backswing. Obviously, he feels more comfortable with the time.

I get all that, but not as a steady diet, which goes back to my original comment. There's a reason Jannik has turned the tables on their rivalry.

 

[Moxie]

OK, so who's going to play Sinner in the final? Kyrgios and Roddick pick Novak, Courier says Charley. I hope it's Alcaraz! We'll know pretty soon. Doubles just finished. Ram/Salisbury to play Granollers/Zeballos in the final.

Just on surface alone I would give Djoke the edge in 3 sets, but wouldn't be surprised if Chuck pulls it out

You think Carlito is not a good fast court player?

It took him several days to adjust to the fast conditions. Djoke has been here before.

Is that court made of cement?

 

[atttomole]

He plays drop shots almost like his idol, no?

All week. Killer has been at all the matches. He understands w/ the RR format his charge could end up playing everyone at the event.

 

[kskate2]

Charlie, if you hit the ball back to your opponent, don't be surprised when it whistles by you

 

[kskate2]

That Charlie FH is misfiring. Even w/ a high serve percentage, he drops the set 6-3

 

[tossip]

Just give Joko the trophy..just tired of this mofo

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Charly's fhand gone AWOL in this match, his bhand not much better sad to say
