‘The racket speed, the power, like WOW!’ Serena Williams can’t stop praising Jannik Sinner’s insane power shots as he defeats Daniil Medvedev in Miami
Jannik Sinner receives immense praise from tennis legend Serena Williams after a dominating victory against Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals of the Miami Open. He had been in sublime form all year and made it to his fourth tournament final of the season, with a good chance to win his third title.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion decided to show up at the ongoing Miami Open, just as two prominent players made it to the court for a semifinal clash. Jannik Sinner was the first to seal his spot, as he defeated Medvedev 6-1, 6-2, followed by Grigor Dimitrov.
From the get-go, the Italian was on top of his opponent, and the double break at the start proved just that. In under an hour, he had the first set to his name. Before Medvedev could realize what had happened, Sinner took the game far away from his reach, after which he closed out the match, making it to the finals.
Throughout the match, Sinner had 17 winners and converted four out of nine break points to stun the Russian. Impressed with this victory, Serena Williams caught up with Sinner after the match, showering the young talent with praise. A moment to remember for the Italian, who was left embarrassed by Williams’ praise.
I wish I had my forehand like that. No, seriously, the racket speed, the power, like wow, Said Williams to Sinner after the match
Serena Williams spotted cheering for ex-boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov at the Miami Open
American legend Serena Williams made her presence felt at the Miami Open. The mother of two spent her time in the stadium and was even spotted cheering her ex-boyfriend Dimitrov. As expected, the moment was caught on camera and instantly went viral on social media, eliciting a plethora of reactions from fans as well.
For the uninitiated, it was the second semi-final match between Grigor Dimitrov and Alexander Zverev. The queen of tennis was very engrossed in the match and was caught clapping and cheering the players.
Nevertheless, she witnessed two great matches. The first showcased Sinner’s brilliance on the court, and the second was the improvement shown by her ex-boyfriend, Grigor Dimitrov.
For context, the rumor surrounding their involvement in a romantic relationship started way back in 2013. While Williams always refrained from publicly validating the relationship, the tennis duo was spotted together at a number of music concerts and shows.
With that being said, the final is now between Sinner and Dimitrov, as both eye the title. While Dimitrov looks at a numero uno title of the year, Sinner looks to make it three out of four tournament wins.
