Today’s match was a remake of the finals of the Beijing and Vienna tournaments in 2023: in both cases the Russian’s resistance was broken by the blue’s pounding play. In the previous six matches, however, Medvedev has always won (the record is 6-2).
While the countdown marks the minutes remaining until the most awaited match of the day, at the Pala Alpitour in Turin it is orange is the dominant colour. Jannik Sinner will take to the field to compete for access to the final of the Nitto ATP Finals against the Russian Daniil Medvedev, in what is also a bit of a rematch of the match played two years ago, at the first edition of the Finals. The now ever-present Carota Boys went crazy in the Turin arena, and in recent days they launched an appeal to the fans to flood the stands with orange. Many those who accepted the invitation, wearing t-shirts or wigs but also showing orange signs with phrases praising the Italian champion. And there were also those who, in addition to the themed clothing, also brought a basket of carrots. The Minister of Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti and the President of Coni Giovanni Malagò are expected to attend the match in the stands.
Unique Sinner competing for ‘undefeated’ maxi-prize

The total prize pool amounts to $15 million. For now Jannik has collected $1.1 million for the three victories in the qualifying round ($390,000 each), in addition to the participation fee for playing three matches ($325,500). The victory in the semi-final is worth 1.1 million dollars, the victory in the final is 2.2 million dollars.
