The facts about the duel between Tsitsipas and Medvedev in the semifinals of the Rome Masters
The game between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Medvedev will take place on Saturday afternoon (May 20, approx. 4 p.m.) and Sportish will present you with the dates of the game.
We are expecting another great fight between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev for the semi-finals of the Rome Masters on Saturday afternoon (May 20, approx. 4 p.m., Cosmote Sports 6).
Two athletes in the top five (5th place for the Greeks, 3rd place for the Russians) who are not on the best terms with each other will compete against the background of qualifying for the finals.
The winner meets the winner of the other big pair in the semifinals in between Rude (#4) and Rooney (#7) starting around 2pm.
The history of the games
Without a doubt, Tsitsipas’ pairing with Medvedev is one of the most interesting on and off the pitch as the two exchanged many words.
This is the twelfth time the two have met, with the Russian recording seven wins and the 24-year-old Greek four.
They have faced each other twice on clay and have won one game each. Medvedev won in Monaco in 2019 and Tsitsipas won 3-0 sets in Roland Garros in 2021.
So they reached the semifinals
Both made it through the first round without playing a match. Stefanos Tsitsipas reached the semifinals without dropping a set, eliminating Borzes, Sonego, Muzzetti and Tsoric one after the other.
The course of Danil Medvedev, who only lost one set, was almost similar. He dominated Rusuvuori 2-0, won 2-1 against Zapata Mirages and followed that up with two more wins in a row against Zverev and Hanfman.
The data in the world rankings
Stefanos Tsitsipas entered the tournament in Rome with the goal of defending his points from last year, meaning he was looking for a way to the final.
Now he’s just a breath away from achieving his goal of making sure he doesn’t suffer a heart attack. Of course, if he wins the title, he will emerge victorious too.
Where he is will depend on both his own semifinals and the other and how the tournament progresses.
- If Tsitsipas loses to Medvedev he will wait and see how Roone fares as the Dane threatens him for fifth place as if he wins the trophy the two will be tied on 4775 points.
- If he wins the final, fifth place is the minimum. If Rooney beats Rudd, Tsitsipas moves up to fourth place, the Norwegian prevails, the two play in the final for fourth place, among other things.
On the other hand, Medvedev has clearer data. Even if he loses to Tsitsipas, he won’t drop from third place in the world rankings. On the contrary, if he achieves the title, he will move up to second place, overtaking Novak Djokovic.
The financial data of the game
Now let’s get to the financial part. Tsitsipas and Medvedev have secured 308,790 euros. The winner gets 580,000 euros, and if one of them wins the title, he leaves Rome with it 1.105.265.
