Rome is tinged with blue with Jasmine Paolini and Jannik Sinner protagonists of the International of Italy. The Tuscan tennis player wins the final eleven years later Sara Errani, while Sinner dominates Ruud with a clear 6-0 6-1. The wait is growing for an all -Italian ending.
Rome dreams of an Italian triumph. There is Jasmine Paolini to the last act of the tournament. After Musetti (who will also meet Alcaraz) Jannick Sinner also earns a place in the semifinals of the International of Italy. The Italian Forum is increasingly blue, dreams of a Sinner-Musetti final and a special day for Paolini who eleven years after Doublemate Sara Errani, enters the history of Rome (and together they will also play the semifinal of the women’s double). The Paris 2024 Olympic champion resolves a very difficult match against the American Stefan winning the first set (7-5) in the come back and then annihilate it in the second with a peremptory 6-1.
All easy instead for Jannick Sinnerfrom the first absolute dominant ball of the challenge with Ruud. The crescendo of the number one in the world is impressive: the poor Ruud, winner in Madrid, finds himself on a gigantic wave that overwhelms everything. Three games were enough at the above -tooth to find his best shots. The service works, the straight is regular and the reverse is spectacular as always. Result: a sensational 6-0 in his favor in the first set with Ruud taken to Poci. The Norwegian, number seven in the world, practically cannot play, immediately gives up the service to Sinner in the first game of the second set and Jannick continues to grind points with incredible continuity: there is no more trace of the breaks that have conditioned him in the matches with Navone and Cerundolo.
Sinner is a war machine and the scream of the Foro Italico becomes an increasingly powerful roar at all its points. Jannick is unjustable and there is also no game in the second set. He snatches the opponent’s service again and goes to 4-1 and then close 6-1. A hour and four minutes of play, just over a workout. Rome is at his feet, no doubt that the number one in the world is back. And tomorrow another blue day with all our best athletes on the pitch. The tricolor waves higher and higher in the sky of the capital. Pure show.
