Updated by the fault of Alcaraz

The Italian Jannik Sinner, world number 1, easily defeated the Russian Daniil Medvedev in straight sets (6-1, 6-4) in the final of the Masters 1000 in Shanghai, but had lost the duel in the semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz (N.2 ), because the Spanish language was missing in front of Tomas Machac (N.33) for 7-6 (7/5) and 7-5.

Part of it is that Alcaraz has just hit the slopes after the announcement of the retirement of the Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal, about the dispute over the “Final 8” of the Copa Davis in the November final, the young Murciano 21 years ago became disillusioned at various stages, that the graduate had to leave the city.

Alcaraz was not ready to confirm the numerous occasions on which they opted for the service of their rival (only once), while Machac stayed on two occasions and came forward in the second set.

When Murciano escaped the party when he needed two “break” balls in games 3 and 7 of the first set, he was committed to the “tie-break” lost in front of a rival he played in Los Angeles The decisive moments came before numerous direct failures (42 of 20).

“In contrast, there is no other choice; You have to do a lot more than you need to,” Machac explained.

Five years ago, when Sinner (23 years old) defended himself against Medvedev (28), five years ago he presented a tremendous competition before five Wimbledon tournaments.

With this Victoria, Sinner balances his direct duels with Medvedev (siete Victorias para cada uno).

With 27 players and 10 direct rounds alone, Sinner dominates a section that lasts 1 hour and 24 hours, with spectators on the steps of Shanghai’s tennis complexes.

When the Italian alone shook the party’s pulse in the last game when he reached a first pitch from Medvedev, it was the only opportunity to “break” everything until Sinner quickly made the rescue and left the party with a service Volea.

“Obviously I was very lucky because he left the party,” explains a sinner, revealing that his rival did not play to the fullest extent: “It is in my heart to harass a man, and I could him do not seek him out as a follower. I don’t know what he’s saying.” “Recover as quickly as possible.”

Throughout his term, Medvedev was unwilling to kill the man when he went to the face and received medical attention at various moments.

Sinner had recently completed the Australian Graduates and the US Open and was ranked No. 1 in the ATP until the final decision for his double victory.

When I said I had just made a career, the Italian said: “It’s great. I can’t do anything but be even younger. Now I know I will succeed in your career.”
