Medvedev beat Sinner in last year’s Miami final, but the Italian came from two set🌞s down to claim the Australia Open title in January.
World number four Medve🔥dev cruised through the first set against Jarry 6-2 but had to battle his way through a tie-break win in the second set as the Chilean fought his way back into the match.
“The first set I thought I was playing a good level,🔯 not doing anything extra, just enough to win,” Med💦vedev said.
“Then he started to play much better and it was tough rallies, tough points. He served better and it was just a matter of a few points in the🍸 tie-break.”
Sinner 🍨reacಌhed his fourth semi-final of the year as he eased past Tomas Machac 6-4 6-2 in 91 minutes.
“Physically I feel good. I’m just happy🦂 to compete,” Sinner said.
“We practise very hard to be in these positions and I’m really happy I can play once again in the semis here at such a speciaꦺl tournament.
“It’s special for me, I made my first Masters 1000 final here, so I’m really happy to 🃏be back in the semis.”
