Rain Stops Sinner–Medvedev in Rome as Ruud Awaits Winner

The delay cuts the winner’s rest before Sunday’s title match with Casper Ruud.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner’s semifinal with Daniil Medvedev was halted for heavy rain late Friday at 6-2, 5-7, 4-2 to Sinner and will resume Saturday not before 3 p.m. local time on Centrale.
  • Earlier Friday, Casper Ruud beat Luciano Darderi 6-1, 6-1 to reach the final and now waits for the Sinner–Medvedev winner.
  • Organizers rewrote Saturday’s order of play with BolelliVavassori’s doubles at 13:00, then the completion of Sinner–Medvedev, followed by the GauffSvitolina women’s final.
  • Sinner took a medical timeout for his right thigh and showed clear fatigue during the match, which could squeeze his recovery if he advances to Sunday.
  • The uncovered main court at the Foro Italico forced a postponement once the downpour made the lines slick, leaving Ruud with a full day of rest and his opponent with less.
