Big win for Vavassori/Bolelli first Italian team to make Rome final since 1963.
Especially for Bolelli, who suddenly lost his father at the start of the clay court season
Vavassori /Bolelli Forza!

Jannik Sinner! has a chance to lift the mens singles title tomorrow since Panatta in 1976
Sinner Forza!

Meddy pushing Sinner way more than Zverev. Daniil still can't decide does he love clay or not. He is actually good on clay when he decides to play and not just complain about it.

Sinner holds on, winning the 3rd set 6-4. He will play Casper Ruud in the final tomorrow, with a chance to complete the set of Masters. Sinner still has a chance to complete the clay sweep, which has only been done by Rafa (in 2005 and 2010).

Don Fabio,
If you are around He Did It, like you said to me yesterday after he broke Meddy early
In the end Sinner too strong, though Meddy is good on clay, even though he says at times he isnt gee he won Rome in 2023 defeating Holger Rune in straight sets if my memory is intact

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Meddy pushing Sinner way more than Zverev. Daniil still can't decide does he love clay or not. He is actually good on clay when he decides to play and not just complain about it.

Meddy won Roma in 2023 defeating Rune in straight sets, actually he has a great game on the clay!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik after the match,

"When you're in the 3rd set, nearly done, but you still have to show up again, you never know what's happening you know. Its basically a new start of a match.But again I'm very happy how I handled the situation, very happy to be back in the final.
"Tomorrow is gonna be a very tough day"
" But I'm very happy this match is finally over. It was a very long one, very happy".

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW Medvedev is 8th in the live rankings, he is not playing any smaller clay court tournaments next week, as long as he stays in the Top 9, he'll get a Top 8 seeding as Alcaraz isnt playing

If Ruud somehow manages win, it will be quite an upset. Not only does Sinner lead the H2H 4-0, Ruud hasn't taken a set off of him. In fact, he's only won more than 3 games in a set twice out of 8 times. Their last five sets have been 6-2 or worse (for Ruud).
