Inter Held in Florence as Lead Narrows, Sinner Equals Djokovic Masters Set Run

Momentum defined the weekend across football and tennis.

Overview

  • Inter drew 1-1 at Fiorentina after Pio Esposito’s 39-second header was canceled out by Chet Ndour, with David De Gea denying Esposito in stoppage time.
  • Despite the draw, Inter stay top of Serie A at +6 over Milan and +7 over Napoli, but have taken only two league points from their last three matches and are four games without a win including the cup.
  • Aleksandar Kolarov stood in for suspended coach Cristian Chivu and acknowledged the team’s dip, stressing recovery during the international break as criticism focused on underperforming leaders and the absence of Lautaro Martínez.
  • Fiorentina recorded a fifth straight positive result, underlining improved form in their survival fight after pushing the leaders for a late winner.
  • Jannik Sinner opened his Miami campaign by beating Damir Dzumhur 6-3, 6-3 to reach the last 32, extending his run to 24 consecutive Masters 1000 sets won to equal Novak Djokovic and logging a 12-match Masters streak without dropping a set.
