Janik Siner secured his place in the final of the Rome Masters 1000, a tournament with a prize fund of €8,235,000, with a 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 victory over Daniil Medvedev. The Italian will face Norwegian Casper Ruud in the final, who defeated Luciano Darderi on Friday.

The match began on Friday evening, with Siner winning the first set decisively. However, Medvedev evened the score with a 7-5 second set and a break in the final game. Siner took a break in the third set but the match was interrupted due to rain, resuming on Saturday at a score of 4-2.

Almost 18 hours later, Siner secured two match points on Medvedev's serve, but lost them. He maintained his composure, eventually finishing the match on his own serve, spending only 15 minutes on the court on Saturday.

"It was a tough challenge. Usually, I don't have trouble sleeping, but this time it wasn't easy. We were in the third set and the match was almost over, but then it rained, and we had to resume the next day. In such situations, you can't predict what will happen. I was nervous, but I'm happy with the victory," said Siner, who hit 92% of his first serves on Saturday.

Twelve months ago, Siner also reached the final in Rome, where he was defeated by Carlos Alcaraz. Now, he is just one win away from completing the so-called "Golden Masters," an achievement only accomplished by Novak Djokovic.
