JAKARTA - The fierce battle between Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner has again created a conversation in the semifinals of the Miami Open, with a different game from the previous meeting. Although Medvedev appeared aggressive, the results were unsatisfactory, where Sinner won a landslide victory 6-1, 6-2 in no time.

Medvedev, who previously won the first two sets in the Australian Open final against Sinner, revealed that his plan was to maintain the same aggressive style of play as Melbourne. However, changes in matches in Miami indicate that the strategy may no longer be effective.

"Initially, the plan was to play more aggressively as in Australia, but too much error and lack of precision became an obstacle," Medvedev explained in a post-match press conference.

Although he has not managed to repeat his success in the Miami final the previous year, Medvedev still looks at the positive side of his performances. He stressed the importance of self-evaluation and developments that the experience will bring in the next game.

In addition, Medvedev admits that to reach his best position, he has to face the best players in the world. Despite facing defeats to players like Sinner, Djokovic, and Alcaraz, Medvedev remains optimistic about his ability to rise.

Responding to Sinner's performance improvements since their last meeting, Medvedev admits that the Italian has shown a significant improvement, especially in terms of service.

"He chose the blow wisely, and the serve has increased significantly," Medvedev said.

With the spirit to continue to grow and face new challenges on the ground, Medvedev prepares to face the next tournament with new beliefs. Despite the obstacles, the 28-year-old remains determined to pursue bigger titles in his career
