Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner will define the Turin Masters title this Sunday, after the victories they achieved in the semifinals. The duel will be a rematch of the one they played on Tuesday, when the Italian won in three sets. The curious thing is that Sinner could have eliminated Djokovic if he lost in his match against the Dane Holger Rune, but with his victory he gave the ticket to the Serbian, whom he must now beat to win the competition.

In the first round, Sinner made it clear that he is in a great moment and maintained his undefeated record in the tournament by beating Russian Daniil Medvedev 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 6-1. The Italian, who had just won his qualifying group, dominated the match based on his serve, since he did not give up his serve throughout the match. On the contrary, he broke the Russian once in the opening set and twice in the decider.

After the Italian’s victory, it was time for the most anticipated clash of the tournament, between Djokovic and the world number 2, the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz. And the Serbian left no doubt about his moment when he won by a resounding 6-3 and 6-2, which was more fought than what the scoreboard indicates. The key was in the effectiveness of the Balkan, who did not waste the chances he generated, unlike the Spaniard, who did not fail in any of the four opportunities he had.

This Sunday starting at 2 p.m., Sinner and Djokovic will meet again after the great match they played on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Italian will go in search of his first Masters title in his first final, while the number one will try to win for the seventh time the tournament that brings together the eight best players of the season.
