[ad_1]
Daniil Medvedev triumphs at the Internazionali d’Italia and reaches his first victory, moreover in a Master 1000, on clay as well as the twentieth title of his career, the first on clay. The Russian, who had never won a match at the Foro Italico before this year, beat the Danish Holger Rune, number 7 on the draw, with a double 7-5 in one hour and 42 minutes of play. Medvedev, on the other hand, appeared more solid and in the second set he recovered two breaks from his opponent.
The Russian tennis player also returns with this victory as number 2 in the world. For Medvedev it is an important title, because up until today the red clay had been a difficult surface for him where he aimed to become more competitive in view of the next Roland Garros.
Medvedev also improves his personal record for finals reached in a year, given that today’s one will be the sixth of 2023, the thirty-third in his career and the ninth in a Masters 1000.
For Holger Rune, the 20-year-old Danish talent, it is instead the demonstration of the progress made to date: he found the second final in a Master 1000 on clay and the eighth in his career.
